Memories too stubborn to leave or last Memories too stubborn to leave or last And days that were kind enough to pass Now our looking glass is stained and broken And so many lies are still being spoken By the untrusting ghosts of our past
All while lacking the comprehension Failures seemed to get all the attention Self-worth deteriorates and is almost gone Due to false conclusions being drawn And our strong powers of retention
We try to learn where the line does lie It’s hard to find but we continue to try When it’s found it’s sometimes too late Then we’re supposed to accept our fate Instead we attempt to turn a blind eye
Energy is wasted wanting to settle scores And all that remains are scarred doors Battles are fought with shame-based rage But from these fights that we did wage More spoils remain from internal wars
We learn contempt increases vulnerability And that emotion obscures our visibility We want to put off the future for a day And we’re wishing the past would not stay But have learned that it’s an impossibility
All that is seen is seen upside down Burden’s carried drag to the ground Tears fall in ashes of bridges burned The day ends dismissing what’s learned While losing sight of the thorny crown
