Childhood memories...
Why is it that we always keep the bad ones?
Sometimes their visions are stuck in your head forever
A haunting in your sleep
It's always there when your eyes meet a new day
The sun kisses you with morning
And towards night the darkness wraps itself around you
Squeezing you until you can't breathe
Making your body become numb
As cold as your winter's midnight
Staring at the sky, seeing your air puff around the stars
When you look at them,
They seem so innocent
But for some reason, they scare you...
They make you remember things
Like the time you were crying in the rain
Screaming into the sky
Waking up the voices inside your head
They want out
The memories are taunting you
It's a pain building up in you
As you're trying to control yourself
Make it stop!
You don't want the memories to come back
There's pressure building up inside you
You can't take it anymore!
You're about to break...
Suddenly, a snow flake lands on your nose
And you smile as you fall back asleep
