Common Dead - Recollect

I'm not crazy, yet you think so

You are the same: desperately escaping

My grieving

Life in the now

All the world was fine back then

What a lie I choose to tell

Cherishing memory of a younger me

When fresh air and landmarks mattered the most

A perfect place and time

Only now that life has gone all wrong

Editing history

Rewinding

Salvage the tape

Escaping tormenting

Turn lights off

Travel in time

I realize it's romanticizing the past

I know better, there was always death,

there was always conflict, there was always loss

But I didn't know it yet

Neither did you, so remember that

As you stomp your victim, you are stomping a child

Don't lay this guilt trip on me

I didn't ask for any of this

How would I like it instead? I don't know,

but better than this shit

Maybe what I want only exists in my head

Maybe it does! So pad the goddamn cell!

Leave me to my memories!

One day I'll have to lay myself to rest

Get your hands off

Don't you touch me

Let me stay here

Chasing a ghost

Watching then

Moving on, holding on

Where does it all stop?

One day I'll have to lay myself to rest

Sleep, child

Just sleep
