fragment of a memory takes a choke hold on me piece by piece silently sucking the life from me melancholic melody declines me into sleep until i open my eyes i ve lived in a lie all of these scars in my head remind me of you hate and regret hand by hand striking memories of you these scars were made by you a flash from my history gives comfort to me underneath this agony killing ache in me trying to defy lunacy to keep my sanity until i open my eyes to this lie all of these scars in my head remind me of you hate and regret hand by hand striking memories of you these scars were made by you underneath this agony trying to keep lunacy away from me  all of these scars in my head remind me of you hate and regret hand by hand striking memories of you these scars were made by you all of these scars in my head remind me of you hate and regret hand by hand striking memories of you these scars were made by you
