a distant memory drowned in whiskey and distant time
a distant memory
drowned in whiskey and distant time
but I'll be damned if it will die
society has made a generation that see's
love as just a way to pass time in the name of fun
the problem being there is no more
self respect for self or others
oh but just one name clouds my mind
just one name on a list of a million of that same name
but I only want her
caught between two worlds
the one you wanted
the happily ever after
the one I tried so desperately to achive
but for a warriors pride
we are born into grace-bound by innocence
and then we fall from haven
by default or denial
hitting the ground in stone cold in reverence
finding that you've become one of the fallen ones
the drudgery of the day to day fight's for lost causes
never knowing now days if I'm right
If I crucified my heart would it stop the beast
from haunting me with her each night
If I burnt my soul would it not die now instead
oh so slowly each day
If I gouged out my eyes would I still see her
could I not cry for a time
could it then all go away
would the peace replace pain
would I feel life again
or would I like a million others be a slave locked and shackled in darkness
still hungry
still raw
still craving her
or would I just start dying alone without a...memory
