Trapped in the Grasp of a Memory

Life still happens when I close my eyes
How dare it leave me behind
The pressure has ran its course
I don’t think I can take this
The pressure has ran its course
I don’t think I can take this anymore
I plucked the petals from all my roses
Leaving a pile of stems
I drain the beauty that’s left in this world
Leaving myself condemned
All the trees look the same
Leaves fall and expose the frame
I am trapped in the grasp
Of a memory
It crawls like water through the veins of the weak
Memory
Kept awake by the grinding of teeth
Trapped in the grasp of a memory
Peel back the skin
Everything dissolves inside
I cannot adjust
Alone in a room full of eyes
Nothing’s built to last through this weather
I try so hard but nothing works
Put me back together
Resurrect
Put me back together
Resurrect
Put me back together
Back
Thorn in my side
(Life still happens when I close my eyes
How dare it)
Leave me behind
