Memories - SHADOWSIDE

When it feels I’ve crossed the line and went back way too far

I stagger and I fall and open the scar

I’m an errant on the run, a stumbler come undone

But I can’t help it if it’s tattooed on my skin

I just happened to realize I believed in my own lie

All the memories I’ve put aside

I hid them but they’re still alive inside

All my past and all my history

Are hard to carry but I just can’t leave behind

When I catch myself with thoughts of people I once sought

I see I was so blind and clean up my mind

Now I know well who they are, reality hits hard

Disguised myself in rage and never faced the pain

I just found out that I had to try to not submit to self-denial

All the memories I’ve put aside

I hid them but they’re still alive inside

All my past and all my history

Are hard to carry but I just can’t leave behind

I just happened to realize I believe in my own lie

All the memories I’ve put aside

I hid them but they’re still alive inside

All my past and all my history

Are hard to carry but I just can’t leave behind
