D'Ross - Memory Lane Lyrics

There I go, daydream Johnny once again
Watching reruns of a show it's called way back when
Pages of my life being reflected right on a screen
I can sit and recite every line scene after scene
Because I've played it all within my mind probably about a hundred times
Skip the parts that make me cry and keep those highlights on rewind
I try to edit from beginning to the end
No matter what a traumatic scene keeps on sneaking in
Now I'm forced to reminisce and see the dirt under the rug
Everything I tried to hide by being strong and acting tough
See I thought that good things only happen to good people
That's what my heart told me man that thing is so deceitful
With things that I didn't expect, things that I wouldn't accept
All these demonic voices may thoughts that I wouldn't reject
I mean what else is their for me to say
Thought I was pleasing God, see I worked hard just to watch everything fade away
That's why I would rather not even talk about
I would rather just move on but his Spirit would not allow it
Yea I know that I got to just face it
And yea I know, that I can't stay complacent
Because this place is full of pain, full of shame and regret
All its neighbors walk around with a noose around their neck
Now their are some great memories, so let me make it clear
It's a place to visit, but you should never live here
Memory Lane

Another Day stuck in memory lane
Just reminiscing putting past events on display
With all my should of could of would of being thrown in my face
Somebody get me out of this place, I'm going insane
I can't stay here in memory lane
I surrender the what if and thoughts that lead me astray
I let them go so I can grow and learn to trust in your ways
So no more strolling down memory lane, I'm leaving memory lane

I've reminisced about everyone who has let me down
Broken promises and blessings that were hand me downs
See I've dealt with disappointments and resentments
Stuck in my past, it's hard to lay hold of my present
Struggling to unwrap the gifts that God has given me
Full time employee for a company called misery
No benefits or sick time, vacations never mind
Imprisoned by my thoughts I'm slap-boxing with the hands of time
I can't believe these things have happened to me
In a club of aces for the Lord, thought this was V.I.P
Guess that's what happens when you think of yourself higher than you ought to
A gravity check to reveal the sequel, a part two
Abram to Abraham, Jacob to Israel
Blaze to now Dross, different name but still lyrical
Empirical data to show you where I stand
Miracles follow me now because I know who I am
So now you can see me singing my heart out in the rain
Though the oppositions great I stay pushing against the grain
It's not numbing to my heart because I'm still feel all the pain
I'd rather have outlook than stare through a window that's stained
I prefer to look ahead than be haunted by what's behind
I would hate to miss my purpose because of a covet eye
No more lies or regrets, God I know I'm your son
Here's my heart and my mind so your will can be done

Another Day stuck in memory lane
Just reminiscing putting past events on display
With all my should of could of would of being thrown in my face
Somebody get me out of this place, I'm going insane
I can't stay here in memory lane
I surrender the what if and thoughts that lead me astray
I let them go so I can grow and learn to trust in your ways
So no more strolling down memory lane, I'm leaving memory lane
