Darkened Thoughts
/A song lyric dealing with those memories that shadow and haunt us.
————
Verse 1: Tie me down and hold me back
Shades of grey all fade to black
Vibrant colors run and lose their hue
Pictures flash across my mind
Dried wells opened, pumped and primed
Ancient mem’ries tumble into view
Chorus: And I wonder as I see them
Why they haunt me still?
Names and dates and places
Shouldas, oughts
I know I can’t escape them
They’re with me come what will
These nightly dreams of random, darkened thoughts
Nightly dreams of random, darkened thoughts
Verse 2: Fame and fortunes made and lost
Purchased heedless of the cost
Earthly goods stockpiled all to no end
Love and passion ground to dust
Sentence neither swift nor just
Lessons which I cannot comprehend
Chorus: And I wonder as I see them
Why do they haunt me still?
Names and dates and places
Shouldas, oughts
I know I can’t escape them
They’re with me come what will
These nightly dreams of random, darkened thoughts
Nightly dreams of random, darkened thoughts
Bridge: What’s imagined, what is real?
Deeper nightmares yet concealed
Open wounds that will not heal
Meanings yet to be revealed
Chorus: And I wonder as I see them
Why do they haunt me still?
Names and dates and places
Shouldas, oughts
I know I can’t escape them
They’re with me come what will
These nightly dreams of random, darkened thoughts
Nightly dreams of random, darkened thoughts
