Memories inside, have captured me

They’re sitting by my bedside and captivating my mind

Vengeance is mine, or soon will be

Revenge is my timeline; your payback is my deadline

Is it everything I thought that it would be?

Licking all my wounds so faithfully, and I’m…

Wanting peace, but flaunting this disease

As this pain sleeps so bitterly

(This is life…)

What a glorious means to find release

It’s your eye for my eye

And I’m living with this pain for my «relief?»

It’s your eye for my life

Bottled up inside, and swallowing me

I’ve fallen in love with hate, now I’m finding that it’s too late

This bitterness won’t leave, so now I see

By harboring these memories, they now own me

«Retribution's on the line. You’ll get yours and I’ll get mine.» (x2)

What a glorious means to find release

It’s your eye for my eye

Can I keep living with this pain for my «relief?»

It’s your eye for my life

It’s not everything I thought that it would be —

Living with the past, so fervently

And all that I’ve learned through this misery

Is that memory is treachery
