Memories of another time
I feel the weight of the world on my shoulders
Though distant, I can still hear their voices
Begging me to avenge their pain
Silence, a welcome sound at this moment
I'd rather be anywhere but here
The fragments of a life in upheaval
Remained untouched for all who care to see
A painful reminder of the way things used to be
I'm drowning. It's harder now than it ever was before
Where are you standing?
Yes I can see you, but I can't see your face
Who are you fooling?
You have deceived me for the last time
Looking to another time
I stand alone on my own in the future
I've struggled to forget what befell me
The memories will always stay with me
Tired of the endless failure
"s** it up and accept your fate."
You tell me, though I choose not to listen
A stubborn fool, unwilling to be saved
Must endure another endless day
I wither away. I can't be saved
Looking past the troubles of today
I wither away to nothingness
I'd like to start again
With a better plan to follow
And trust in me, and only me
I can trust no other
A new day arrives, and I embrace the sunlight
Now to sweep aside the horrors of the past
A great time to be alive, the lessons learned stay with me
So now I test myself to see if I survive...
