Memories of Us

Tears dripping, puddles on my kicks so numb. Heart cold, frostbite where the pain came from. Chained to memories, dragging me down slow. A caged bird dreaming, but the sky said no. No. City lights dim, shadows haunt my plight. Echoes in the alleys whisper, "Not tonight." Wallets full of nothing, pockets carry woes. Broke within my soul, but the pain still grows. Heart trapped in a beat that don't ever drop. Running from myself, but I hit the block nonstop. Pain sits heavy, tattoos on my brain. Storm in my chest, steady pouring rain. Clock ticking loud, silence louder still. Dreams elusive, buried up on a hill. Chasing ghosts with my sneakers on the grind. Lost in the rhythm of what I can't find. Screen cracked, life shattered on replay. Voicemail of your voice cuts deeper each day. Rolling up regrets, smoke fills the room. A haze of my past, a bouquet of doom. Fingers trace the cracks on a shattered sky. Hope torn apart, asking God why. Maybe these ashes bloom into something whole. Trap my sadness, but can't chain my soul. Heart trapped in a beat that don't ever drop. Running from myself, but I hit the block nonstop. Pain sits heavy, tattoos on my brain. Storm in my chest, steady pouring rain. Heart trapped in a beat that don't ever drop. Running from myself, but I hit the block nonstop. Pain sits heavy, tattoos on my brain. Storm in my chest, steady pouring rain.
