Memory is too fragile
Too often it forgets the past
All your happiness is faded
Your timeline, unsure and jaded

It remebers the biggest stuff
The "important" events and things
But leaves out intamacy
In the details of legacy

The little day to day gestures,
Moments of bliss are neglected
"Insignifigant" adventure
And all the laughter that they lure

These are the things I want to keep,
What I want memorialized
On my conciousness for ever
All these times we shared together

Precious moments unforgotten
Like the wind tossling my hair
And you sliding it back in place
How you lightly caressed my face

Every breathless time my heart stopped
And butterflies bred at  your touch
Every kiss imprinted in time
The veiws from the mountains we climb

The way we shudder and tremble
And whipser "I Love you" 's with care
The jokes  we shout, the games we play
The songs we sing, the things we say

These fleeting moments are ereased
To make way for pain or glory
Things with ceremony or scars
Not as good as sleeping in cars

Let my legacy be of my
Good times, fun times, small times when I
Made a difference for once and for
The smiles and laughs of my trade floor

I want to remeber these things
The small things that make up our lives
Because they make them all worth more
Than I ever thought before

Dying love
Just too weak
Too far away to remember
I prayed these momories wouldn't fade

Sounds like this sacrafice
Was just a long goodbye
You've tried before
To dissapear

Wrong hands take control of the sweet life
We carried from our
Terrible cradle

You uunderstood the harmony
That exists between us
Mistaken and everlasting
What a majestic trick

Doctors slipping in desperatoin,
Trying to recapture the lives they lost
To limitless disaster

This sinful fee
Isn't worth your hopeless greif
It is no justification
For your imperfections
Let go of your trampled worth
And broken pride
Cannot be saved like
You beleive

Friends barely embrace
I am sorry for your lonely passion
Begging for a kiss

Shame kisses your thoughts
God's will shinging through
The world in a way you never wante

Enjoy the day
Isn't it lovely?
Think of the time we played in the dirt,
How we laught at our game
As the world softly crashed on our innocent character
And plunged us into a bitter nightmare
Not worth waking up to false bliss
In this growing distance between our stares.

I wish you were clear with your intentions so I can look you in the eye and let you see everything I feel.

It's been a while
It's been so long
It feels wrong

What are you?
What have you become?
What are you since I've been gone?

Shall I see growth
Or regression
Is it safe to call that progression

So much is different now
Who am I
To tell you what code to live by

Who am I
To judge your journey
Because at the end you will be worthy

But the return
The return
These painful scars, they burn

To carry these burdens
So far
But back here how usesless they are

The return is never what it seems
No welcome for the hero
Just pain that they must never know

I return to emptiness
Scars and pain no one can heal
I am alone in my battles that no one can feel

So we carry on, drag our feet
As we journey on to places no one has ever been
To things no one else has ever seen

To each his own
Battles to carry
Demons to burry

And we return,
We return to the things we used to know
And find they no longer suit us like they did all that time ago

Where to we go from here?
We only wanted to go home
But home is no longer the place we had known

Where to then?
For heroes at their journey's end?
Is there no place left for them to mend?

The return
The return is never what you dreamed
You come back and more time has passed than had seemed

And the return is painful
But you come and anyway you smile
Because after all that you know it is worth the while

To have left and grown
To witness what you left behind
For the greatness you came to find

The Return
It's been so long
It feels so wrong
But I think this isn't where I belong

Remind me again how we got this far?
I struggle and scream
All I have are these scars

Is this really what I am?
It's not what I wanted to dream
This is far from what I planned

Remind me again what made me begin?
If I had know what would have been...
How will I repent for this sin?

Remind me again how we got this far?
I am miserable, can't you see?
All I ever gained from this are all these scars...

Tell us tell us
Confide in us your tale
Us, we hungry ranvenous reporters
Who scavenge your lines for
Every private inch of you yet
Let us fester and spread in your gossip
Entrust to us your secrets
So we can discard them freely unto the world
The detail, the detail every last bit of it
Tell us tell us, feed our bottomless mouths
Lies and truth they are all the same
Feed us feed us!
Your rumors, we are to blame
And once we have it all
When we are filled, bloated
With your shame and your disgrace
We shuffle on for another victim
To pick at and argue over who gets the juiciest bits.
So trust in us, we harbingers of deceit.
Brings us your secrets
And we will feast

I've grown cold and unused to you
We were two people who shared a bed
That was love, no?
We practiced this cherade for 15 years
We fight, and argue
Each time pushing further apart
Until this cold distance consumed us
Broken into little pieces my heart
Has nothing left to give you
Last time you drank you took my last piece
And I'm through
How can I miss something that was never really there?
Our lives together great
But they grew weathered and faded
Until you dropped out of the race
How could I not see?
This was never meant to be?
I've left you behind dear
I left you long ago
And I'm only tell you this now
Now instead of then because I hoped
Hoped you could see
I was leaving
And chase after me
See what ruin you had caused
And say you were sorry
But you didn't
You kept blowing your path of destruction
And I snuck out between the waves
And I'm telling you now dear
I can't
I loved you once
But darling our love its been dying
Our love its been dead
Goodbye
