Trapped in the Grasp of a Memory - Knocked Loose

Life still happens when I close my eyes

How dare it leave me behind

The pressure has ran its course

I don’t think I can take this

The pressure has ran its course

I don’t think I can take this anymore

I plucked the petals from all my roses

Leaving a pile of stems

I drain the beauty that’s left in this world

Leaving myself condemned

All the trees look the same

Leaves fall and expose the frame

I am trapped in the grasp

Of a memory

It crawls like water through the veins of the weak

Memory

Kept awake by the grinding of teeth

Trapped in the grasp of a memory

Peel back the skin

Everything dissolves inside

I cannot adjust

Alone in a room full of eyes

Nothing’s built to last through this weather

I try so hard but nothing works

Put me back together

Resurrect

Put me back together

Resurrect

Put me back together

Back

Thorn in my side

(Life still happens when I close my eyes

How dare it)

Leave me behind
