Memories How you linger Stinging and staining Remaining and reminding Of the binding ties The blinding highs And lows so steep Blows so deep Reaping, creeping Leaping from tower tops Falling, flailing to the crops below Knot on the head Ears pick up knocking Arms blocking Stocking on locks Rocking on the floor Poor boy Never had a dream Bereave him and leave him the keys Heaves up blood Studded in his cellar Paler than snow No glow, so low Woe Lament for him Repent for him Resentment was not meant for him Sent to the wrong address Tested and regressed Restless and directionless Ingestion of confession became Nestled, cottled Modeled and bottled Startled and shocked Hardened, unpardoned Parted like the Red Sea Like the Red blood   Running down like tears in those Red eyes Ready to cry like those Fed eyes Ready for demise like those Dead eyes Don't be surprised And what a soul could know How the memories linger

The Lingering Recollection
Memories How you linger Stinging and staining Remaining and reminding Of the binding ties The blinding highs And lows so steep Blows so deep Reaping, creeping Leaping from tower tops Falling, flailing to the crops below Knot on the head Ears pick up knocking Arms blocking Stocking on locks Rocking on the floor Poor boy Never had a dream Bereave him and leave him the keys Heaves up blood Studded in his cellar Paler than snow No glow, so low Woe Lament for him Repent for him Resentment was not meant for him Sent to the wrong address Tested and regressed Restless and directionless Ingestion of confession became Nestled, cottled Modeled and bottled Startled and shocked Hardened, unpardoned Parted like the Red Sea Like the Red blood   Running down like tears in those Red eyes Ready to cry like those Fed eyes Ready for demise like those Dead eyes Don't be surprised And what a soul could know How the memories linger
