Pick up the pieces and bury them
Drown out this constant ringing
Harvest the fleeting thoughts in your mind
That give you a glimpse of something real
Recollection escapes me
We're left with only what we see
Callused hands and withered hearts
Blank pages frayed and torn apart
We've come so far but we weren't there
Reality lapsed into thin air
So close to home but you can't win
As memory fades the dirge sinks in
