Memories

Watch as I fall victim to the lie of memory A thinly veiled illusion of truth Trapped in the thought of what could be Or what was I often think of you I picture my mistakes and where I went wrong And where I went wrong Pictures of the past are all I see I cannot find a way to leave Oh, the room is cold and beginning to shrink And I feel the past catching up to me Pictures of the past are all I see I cannot find a way to leave Oh, the room is cold and beginning to shrink And I feel the past catching up to me I often wonder who I’m supposed to be Am I disillusioned? Sometimes the light fades In this sea of doubt My life was set on fire And with its blaze, smothered the past But beneath the choking smoke The ashes reek of you Pictures of the past are all I see I cannot find a way to leave Oh the room is cold and beginning to shrink And I feel the past catching up to me Pictures of the past are all I see I cannot find a way to leave Oh the room is cold and beginning to shrink And I feel the past catching up to me
