Lyrics

Memories

Crawling on the sidewalk, beaten up from the sad talk.
Why is everything so violent?
Screaming’s not the way out no matter how loud you shout.
Do you really wonder why it’s so silent?

Take a look around you
Take a look around you-what is gone?

I went everywhere to try and just forget.
I went to Seattle but all I got was wet.
So I went to Arizona, but all I did was sweat.
They say if you can manage the memories it’ll be easier to forgive.

Diving on the concrete, reason takes a backseat
They’ll always be someone for you to blame.
Blinders blocks the daylight, the shadows makes you feel right.
Do you really think that love is just a game?

Take a look around you
Take a look around you-what is gone?

I went everywhere to try and just forget.
I went to Seattle but all I got was wet.
So I went to Arizona, but all I did was sweat.
They say if you can manage the memories it’ll be easier to forgive.

Diggin’ up the past dirt just dirties up a new shirt-
You hide your hands in your pockets and scream they’re clean.
Why you wanna walk down streets that you don’t need to be?
You with me? You with me? You’re with me.

Take a look around you
Take a look around you-what is gone?

I went everywhere to try and just forget.
I went to Seattle but all I got was wet.
So I went to Arizona, but all I did was sweat.
They say if you can manage the memories it’ll be easier to forgive.
