Common Dead - Recollect Lyrics
I'm not crazy, yet you think soYou are the same: desperately escapingMy grievingLife in the nowAll the world was fine back thenWhat a lie I choose to tellCherishing memory of a younger meWhen fresh air and landmarks mattered the mostA perfect place and timeOnly now that life has gone all wrongEditing historyRewindingSalvage the tapeEscaping tormentingTurn lights offTravel in timeI realize it's romanticizing the pastI know better, there was always death,there was always conflict, there was always lossBut I didn't know it yetNeither did you, so remember thatAs you stomp your victim, you are stomping a childDon't lay this guilt trip on meI didn't ask for any of thisHow would I like it instead? I don't know,but better than this shitMaybe what I want only exists in my headMaybe it does! So pad the goddamn cell!Leave me to my memories!One day I'll have to lay myself to restGet your hands offDon't you touch meLet me stay hereChasing a ghostWatching thenMoving on, holding onWhere does it all stop?One day I'll have to lay myself to restSleep, childJust sleep
