What's this poised at the tip of my tongue?
What's that tossed to the back of my mind?
Could it be a memory I thought I'd left behind?
What's this moist at the edge of my eyes?
What's this lost swirling here in my soul?
A half-forgotten story whose end I cannot recall
Must you go hiding in the dark side of your moon?
Must you pry open every single ancient wound?
Can't let the past confine you
Can't let your mistakes define you
If you bite your tongue, you can hold back an ounce of your tears
If you eat your words, you can swallow a bit of your pride
You just choose and decide
What's this carved in the palm of my hand?
Whose this voice singing inside my head?
How long must I languish?
I will not give you up for dead
Must we starve for what we don't possess?
Like this face swimming in my tears
Something has gone missing
Misplaced between the years
