Memory Lyrics - The Origins Of Ruin - Redemption

Anything we should know about your change? 

I still remember the sound of your voice calling out my name 

And I still remember my face examining itself, 

Knowing things would never be the same 

I still remember your smiling face across a crowded room 

I still remember, through the weathering of time, 

That first embrace that sealed our doom 

Your eyes stare at me from every storefront 

And your voice calls to me from every restaurant 

And your laughter pierces me as I stand beneath the open sky 

And your absence murders me as I sleep perchance to die 

Seems like to escape is what I ought to do, 

But every road I take brings me back to you 

I am frozen in the moment, clinging to your memory 

And I don't want the ignorance 

That a spotless mind would bring, 

But I'm scared my dying breath may be your name 

It's just like I sang to you: 

Everyone knows that we live in a world 

Where people give bad names to beautiful things 

And if it's really true that people should leav 

Once they've got what they came for, 

I certainly hope that you're holding it close to you now 

I am frozen in the moment, clinging to your memory 

And I don't want the ignorance 

That a spotless mind would bring, 

But I'm scared my dying breath may be your name 

I still remember the sunlight on your face that warm November day 

I still remember my heartbeat quickened by desire, 

Unaware of prices I would pay 

I still remember the closing door the night we said goodbye 

I still remember losing you for good 

And knowing that a part of me had died 

Seems like to escape is what I ought to do, 

But every road I take brings me back to you 

I am frozen in the moment 

(Please do not forget me) 

Clinging to your memory 

('Cause I will not forget you) 

And I don't want the ignorance 

That a spotless mind would bring, 

But I'm scared my dying breath may be your name 

Please let me be frozen in the moment 

Let me hold on to those memories 

And I pray that things will be all right 

And I pray you'll think of me tonight 

And I know somehow I'll be all right, 

And I hope that you're the same, 

But I'm scared my dying breath may be your name
