I don't want to remember. It hurts too much
They haunt me...taunting me as I run
They know I'll be back...I can't stay away
Bits and pieces of that last night come flooding back to me
Tearing my soul apart
I shudder and claw at my head as the memories engulf me, trying in vain to escape
I turn to you for help...make them stop
The sound of your laughter fills my ears as I lay there paralyzed,
drenched in the blood of the sins of my own making,
drowning out the screams echoing in the corners of my mind
Don't leave me alone with the memories. I'll go mad if you do
Touch me...kiss me
Hold me close to ward off the dreams and let me know I'm alive and not
the dead creature that I fear that I am
