Torched Memories

And I still carry those dimming torches
Of those who came and left
Like a plug that stops the pain
I think of you as it continues to rain
Left in my heart like a mustard stain
I know I must be going insane

I miss you, I just want to kiss you
If the world doesn't end by then
I'd only be the happiest man
To have you in my den

And I still carry those dimming torches
Of those who came and left
Like a plug that stops the pain
I've all but gone insane

Maybe the reason I haven't found you
Is cause you don't really exist after all
It only gets harder to stand after each and every fall

And I still carry those dimming torches
Of those who came and left
Like a plug that stops the pain
I've all but gone insane

A different time, a different place perhaps
Dancing laps through my mind as I sleep
Too many thoughts in my head to even weep

Hiding behind my mask
As I down whats left of this flask
Basked in rotting emotion
Drowning in my tear filled ocean
I can't even see the light
Though I paddle with all my might
Every day is an endless fight

And I still carry those dimming torches
Of those who came and left
Like a plug that stops the pain
I've all but gone insane

You may as well lay down and die
Lord knows I'll cry
You're dead already
But you just don't know it
Take your shot, but you'll probably just blow it

No use in running
No use in hiding
Like two ships adrift
That are constantly colliding

And I still carry those dimming torches
Of those who came and left
Like a plug that stops the pain
I've all but gone insane

Up and away
Into the next day
Much to your dismay
You'll soon see a ray

The light is but a farewell gift
To those on their way to die
Soaked in this sea
Of what's left of you and me

Live with your regrets
And die with remorse
As you listen to the clopping
Of that solemnly marching horse.

I still carry that dimming torch
Waiting here on my porch
Like a plug that stops the pain
I've all but gone insane
