Memories

Ah every night I be sleeping with you baby all by myself
Ah I be creeping until we're the only ones left
On the dance floor alone, sleeping on a cold bench calling this home
Memories of you bend the knee as I fall from our throne

I can't take it but I gotta, I never thought that hell could get any hotter
For someone with nothing, when it comes to pain I got a lotta
Starving but living off dreams that times with you keep feeding
Wanting to live for so much more, but for survival your memories are all that I'm needing

At least I'm better than a sponge out of water and seeking moisture anywhere
I seek memories of the softest of breeze as you run your fingers through my hair
The lures that ensnare, as you cast my name out upon the waves
My memories dare with flare asking if her memories are all that were saved

The earth is but continents and oceans when seen from afar
But in reverse, who's to say that the earth wasn't once like mars
With waters frozen, no moisture for tears can be found        
The planet that I suddenly worshipped hid it's emotions underground

The memories of opportunities squandered and abused
A precious love left idling and wasting never to be used
Our rolls have been exchanged as if one's an asteroid and the other/s a meteorite
Maybe like just Haley's comet more than memories will return if I mourn your lost right

Maybe the frigidity that haunts that desolate space on your side oft the bed
Willingly accept the warmth that now circulates between my heart and head
I need nights on the dance floor and on that bench finally with you
I need those memories of us to finally be based on something that is true
