Memorabilia Never a time do I remember that I knew not pain A time I believed in forever That surely nothing would stay the same Now my heart feels like the Fall When I hear it's Autumn, I remember your name Though I blocked and deleted your contact, I'm glad we never talk again They say we all hurt sometimes and some days are meant to be ugly They also say it'll be alright, even if you lose the game and your vision is blurry So raise your glasses to the ones that made it Not because we deserve it, we earned not one bit The taste of liquor on your lips betrays the sarcastic glare you threw at me The scent of alcohol in your system, the more you drink, the less you agree Life can be fair, the truth yells harder in echos If you never will give up, it sings like a choir of altos Do relationships expire because they grow from good to bad Or humans evolve to resemble a nomad Who makes pit stops called home in search of paradise An utopia like the Garden of Eden but the dreams are never concise So we stock up on earth with prices that are under-priced Then we realize our value but stuck attached to strings with which we were enticed Our souls forever entwined in the sin of our ties, Ingrates and folly, we admit we don't know better, The priests and the eunuchs couldn't handle these wild fellas, The chapels ringing bells, calling doves to find shelter, From the rain or the dew, new clothes for the winter, I wish to stop remembering you, You remind me of a man with dreams who promised you the stars and the moon, But this is my cross, a messiah I seem to be, Calling myself, or maybe I want to feel like I still can dream.
