Memories

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
