After all the years, you'd think I'd forget, But my nightmares keep coming back, they won't relent. I still remember all my worst memories And sad as it is they will still be apart of me, Because late in the night When lay down to sleep I can't stop my mind From thinking of what life would be If everything stayed the way I wanted it And left me alive But the worst part of life is that Even when you grow old die That you can never go back. What I would give for second chances, What I would give to get my moments again. I'd tell my family that I'd miss them when we're no more. I guess I just wish we had more time than before... I still can hear the thoughts playing on my cassette tapes, They're all broken records, all stuck on replay, I thought I escaped, I thought I escaped, I thought I escaped! But my heart is a hard thing to replace! So I sit here still dreaming Of what a family still is! But my investigations show that it doesn't exist... -I wear a lot of faces, I wear a lot of things, But the one that I forget belongs to me! These pencils don't do justice to the thoughts in my seas!
