Sometimes memory hurts
More than it should
Like a forgotten mood
You've done all you could
Terror strikes like a knife
You try to defend your life
Sometimes yesterday feels
Closer than you'd care
Like a calendar's page
That will not tear
Your mind longs for reprieve
But you don't want to grieve
It's so hard for you to believe
That the thoughts will ever leave
You're stuck in a room
With walls built from despair
A place filled with fears
Between there and nowhere
Sometimes incidents play
Through your mind on a wheel
Like a criminal you deny
That the feelings are real
Your mind longs for reprieve
But you don't want to grieve
It's so hard for you to believe
That the thoughts will ever leave
You're stuck in a room
With walls built from despair
A place filled with fears
Between there and nowhere
And try as you might
You can't fight the tears
As the memories rape you
After so many years
