No Past

all the stupid things I said

Playing over in my head

Like an elevator symphony

You know how it torments me

Spot of black on white cloth

Dreams of darkness and of goth

A crisp vision becomes clear

For all those who can hear

But these days I soak in the sun

No longer am I on the run

What has changed you may ask?

I’ve simply given up the past

The silence engulfs me

I take solace in its sea

What has changed you may ask?

I’ve simply given up the past

How can it be so? she says

For your days are filled with dread

But also of peace

The sweet power of release

Started out so young

My life was under the gun

Faced the wolf’s snarling teeth

Was it to wound or to teach?

But these days I soak in the sun

No longer am I on the run

What has changed you may ask?

I’ve simply given up the past

The silence engulfs me

I take solace in its sea

What has changed you may ask?

I’ve simply given up the past
