Broken Seal

I find myself not understanding what I feel  
Somehow something has broken the seal  
All these memories I thought I put away    
Buried deep in my mind until today    
   
They've taken on a life all their own  
Like facing reality while being stoned  
Treasures you can't hold, counting them one by one    
It's an addiction that just can't be undone    
   
I'm trying to let go  
I want back the world I know  
(The world I know)  
Did I sell my soul for a ghost from the past  
Still trapped in your aftermath    
How long can this make believe last  
   
Did you ever stop and think what you took from me  
Why did you ever think I could set you free  
Sometimes I wonder what I would do  
If your memory wasn't true
(Unlike you)  
   
I'm trying to let go  
I want back the world I know  
(The world I know)  
Did I sell my soul for a ghost from the past  
Still trapped in your aftermath    
How long can this make believe last
