of a time long ago of memories that never seem to fade
where dreams were made of fantasy reality pushed aside
as the mind traveled roads that were made of nightmares
you live within the shadow world where memories dwell

tears fall with no recourse when the minds terrors are awakened
of lives shattered when delusions of the mind took command
happiness becomes short lived when memory lane is visited
you live within the shadow world where memories dwell

wondering around you try to come to terms try to accept the past
knowing they were necessary events needed to grow upon
but the pain they caused is sometimes unbearable to remember
you live within the shadow world where memories dwell

wishing the pain was not necessary recognizing thre was no control
realizing past events cant be changed trying to accept what was
yet the pain of what was done lives on to always remind you
you live within the shadow world where memories dwell
