Looking over my shoulder at the road that follows What once seemed to matter now dust at my feet Memories whisper at the edge of perception Silent reminders of a life incomplete And all that remains Are the scars to remind me And all the lives I've thrown away And all that remains Are the bars that confine me To a past I can't escape Words that are unspoken are now reminders Each second dies a silent d**h unmourned I tried as a martyr to lead her, to guide her Now I'm alone painted by the color of scorn And all that remains Are the scars to remind me And all the lives I've thrown away And all that remains Are the bars that confine me To a past I can't escape
