Forgotten Memories

If no one ever told you
Would you say that you remeber
The soul is like a burning ash
It's killing the last ember

If the world was filled with violence
How do you think it would end
The shadow and the hatred
The mind can't comprehend

If you were only given two choices
Would you make the right decision
Block off all of the noises
And clear out your vision

So many things about your future
You forget about your past
You want to see your memory
When you realize your life won't last...
