Escaping Memories - by Erik Smith

Momentary memory
Practical catastrophe                 (Ch) - Chorus
Demons still surrounding me
Fuck this stain inside of me

In the middle of a happy relationship
Images of a right of passion interlude
Distracting me from taking care of my heart
Opening the Pandora's box of psychotic disasters
Splitting me and a possible match too far apart

(Ch)

Running from my past
Resisting in the middle of hell
Questions pelting me from reporters and old friends
Fires of accusations piercing my skin from within
No walls I've built could keep away my end

(Ch)

Alone in my hole inside my soul I hide
Smoking weed to help numb the smoldering pain
Dropping hit after hit to try to shatter this glass reality
I keep slitting my wrist but it heals before I can die
Running backwards in circles trying to escape so frantically

(Ch)

Someday I can help myself
But for now I will try to kill it
Try to completely destroy it
