Memories Restored

Astonished to see you before my eyes this time
Ambushed with inner pride inside, hurts like a crime
To numb the love in my heart tonight
To dumb down my intellect with your might

I had a dream I was writing a song 
I had a dream I was feeling as if I belong
I had a dream we were right and wrong,
Brought into the light of the darkness all along

Memories restored in funny ways
Memories hit a chord in me these days
I want you to stay in my memory
I need you to stray from my misery
I can’t face the reflection I see
In this mirror of madness fury
My patience and radiance is my upper
My self-control out the window in a blur 

Reminiscent, evanescent auras drown my eyesight 
Pushed into the fire and ice of my ever-glowing soul so bright
To numb the pain in my heart tonight, filled with so much vexation 
To shun away the aching, breaking and anguished shivering sensation 

I had a dream I was writing a song 
I had a dream I was feeling like I belong
I had a dream we were right and wrong,
Brought into the light of the darkness all along

Memories restored in funny ways
Memories hit a chord in me these days
I want you to stay in my memory
I need you to stray from my misery
I can’t face the reflection I see
In this mirror of madness fury
My patience and radiance is my upper
My self-control out the window in a blur 

Faith desired in many ways
Faith restored these wild days
Crazed and so disoriented no more
Producing the pride inside anymore 

Memories restored in funny ways
Memories hit a chord in me these days
I want you to stay in my memory
I need you to stray from my…anxiety
