Childhood Memories

[Image]

There was a song I used to hum, that carried me to the stars
Alone and frightened, I would swing across the monkeybars
Moving to and fro, never knowing who may be real or just a dream
Far away from everyone who looked so much closer than they seem
What I thought was exceptable, happened to every child
Turns out I was mistaken, there's nothing innocent in wild
Brought me out amongst the dead,
Taught of stories that haunt my head
All of my daily reminders still chase me at night, by the fire
I feel them coming on, the twisting stomach fright, as I tire
With all of my courage, my dreams call out
As I reach to be touched, from the sheets I fall out
I am as hot as the sun, the flashes now heating
Down my body I feel each tireless beating
I don't belong here, I feel misplaced on this earth
Now near, to each, what will they be worth?
Monsters storming the streets in their shadows
Children abducted from outside their own patios
Plagues and earthquakes, pouring blood into the sea
All I pray is that He shows His mercy upon me
Where from my memory can I recall, of all I see within?
I calmly close my eyes so I may sing of childhood again...

Childhood Memories

There was a song I used to hum that carried me to the stars
Alone and frightened I would swing across the monkey-bars
Unknowing who may be real or nothing but a dream
Far away from those so much closer than they seem
What I thought was acceptable, happened to every child
Turns out I was mistaken, there's no innocence in wild
You brought me out amongst the dead,
And taught of stories that haunt my head
All of my daily reminders chase me as I tire
I feel them coming on, burning fright like that of fire
With all of my courage, my dreams call out
As I reach to be touched, from the sheets I fall out
I'm tortured with rage, these flashes now heating
Down my body I feel each tireless beating
I don't belong here, I'm misplaced on this earth
What's left of my sanity and what is it worth?
Monsters, they storm the streets in the shadows
Children abducted from outside of their patios
Plagues, earthquakes, blood pours to the sea
I pray that He shows His mercy upon me
Where from my memory can I recall of all I've within?
I calmly close my eyes and sing of childhood again...
