《A Murder Of Memories》歌词

[00:00:00] A Murder Of Memories - Eyedea & Abilities

[00:00:25] Sometimes gunfire's brighter

[00:00:27] Than the sunshine*

[00:00:28] Sometimes a child's scream

[00:00:29] Influences every dream

[00:00:31] Sometimes we fool ourselves

[00:00:32] Into thinkin' we've moved on

[00:00:34] But no way no how

[00:00:35] Do we ever forget what we've seen

[00:00:37] No way no how

[00:00:38] Do we ever forget what we've seen

[00:00:40] No way no how

[00:00:41] Do we ever forget what we've seen

[00:00:43] No way no how

[00:00:44] Do we ever forget what we've seen

[00:00:46] No way no how

[00:00:47] Do we ever forget what we've seen

[00:00:49] It's now twenty-five years later

[00:00:51] He's on the brink of fourty-three

[00:00:52] Still searchin' for sanity

[00:00:53] Surveyin' the floor of his distorted sea

[00:00:55] He remembers high-school

[00:00:56] Friends jokin' about the war

[00:00:59] Never knew what Mom was cryin' for

[00:01:01] The other piece

[00:01:02] That shines in his mind

[00:01:03] Is the divine first-love soul-mate

[00:01:05] Beauty brown-eyed queen

[00:01:06] He left behind

[00:01:08] He remembers holdin' her tight

[00:01:09] Watchin' the sunset at shore

[00:01:11] Never knew what she was cryin' for

[00:01:14] He got the letter in his mail

[00:01:15] By the middle of his summer

[00:01:17] Wouldn't have had to go if

[00:01:19] It wasn't for his new born brother

[00:01:20] He was barely eighteen

[00:01:21] Murdering people even younger

[00:01:23] And he still ducks and covers

[00:01:24] Every time he hears the thunder

[00:01:26] He still hears the screams

[00:01:28] Smells the flesh

[00:01:28] Tastes the death

[00:01:29] Sees the blood

[00:01:30] Feels the pain

[00:01:31] What's to gain

[00:01:32] Nothing's left but the slug

[00:01:33] That remains in his right path

[00:01:35] The bullet laughs every time he cries

[00:01:37] And it drives him mad

[00:01:39] Trying to sleep

[00:01:40] But the visions give him a cold sweat

[00:01:42] The war's been over for two decades

[00:01:43] But he still hasn't been home yet

[00:01:45] Everyday he wakes

[00:01:46] And strains to repress his guilt

[00:01:48] And forget the horror

[00:01:49] The violence the kill-or-be-killed

[00:01:51] Fists are always clenched

[00:01:52] Teeth are always grindin'

[00:01:54] Real life is lost

[00:01:55] And in a bottle he tries to find it

[00:01:57] "It's not fair"

[00:01:58] He mumbles through a nightmare

[00:02:00] Only in the fight for two years

[00:02:01] And wound up spendin'

[00:02:02] His whole life there

[00:02:03] He was face to face with the devil

[00:02:05] For the "welfare" of his country

[00:02:07] Now he's strainin' to live

[00:02:08] But his conscience won't let him

[00:02:10] It ain't flashbacks

[00:02:11] You have to understand the tragedy see

[00:02:13] He left the war

[00:02:14] But the war never left him see

[00:02:16] He left the war

[00:02:17] But the war never left him see

[00:02:19] He left the war

[00:02:20] But the war never left him see

[00:02:22] He left the war

[00:02:23] But the war never left him see

[00:02:25] He left the war

[00:02:27] It's now twenty-five years later

[00:02:29] He's on the edge of a park bench

[00:02:31] He's asked God for help

[00:02:32] But found his source non-existent

[00:02:34] He sits in the shadows

[00:02:36] 'Cause his sun burns no more

[00:02:37] Now he knows

[00:02:38] What Mom was cryin' for

[00:02:40] I used to watch old man in the park

[00:02:42] The sight slowly drove right

[00:02:43] Through my heart

[00:02:44] Wishin' I could help

[00:02:45] But not knowin' where to start

[00:02:46] I'd walk away curse the world

[00:02:48] Gush some love

[00:02:49] And curse some more

[00:02:50] Now you know who

[00:02:51] I've been cryin' for

[00:02:52] He threw his medals in the river

[00:02:54] But they sunk alone

[00:02:55] Put shades on his eyes

[00:02:56] To hide him from

[00:02:57] The war zone in the sky

[00:02:59] He tried to slit

[00:03:00] His wrists about a month ago

[00:03:02] But he's seen so much death

[00:03:03] He's scared to life of suicide

[00:03:05] If there was some way to break

[00:03:07] Him out of this penitentiary

[00:03:08] Gulps get bigger and figures

[00:03:10] It'll chase away his memories

[00:03:11] But the dreams only worsen

[00:03:13] The scenes almost burst in

[00:03:14] He recalls how training took away

[00:03:16] His right to be a person

[00:03:17] Put a gun in his hand

[00:03:19] Left him to die with the land

[00:03:21] The plan was the murder of man

[00:03:24] Politicians have a dispute

[00:03:25] Decide to send in troops

[00:03:26] But the truth is

[00:03:27] They just don't understand

[00:03:30] Now he's runnin' out of time

[00:03:31] And runnin' out of energy

[00:03:33] But till the last day

[00:03:34] He'll be fighting for

[00:03:35] The murder of his memories

[00:03:36] And although he never

[00:03:37] Got rid of his dog-tags

[00:03:38] He still wishes they'd have sent

[00:03:40] His parents and american flag

[00:03:42] (instead of him)

[00:03:43] He was face to face with

[00:03:44] The devil for the "welfare" of his country

[00:03:45] Now he's strainin' to live

[00:03:47] But his conscience won't let him

[00:03:48] It ain't flashbacks

[00:03:49] You have to understand the tragedy see

[00:03:51] He left the war

[00:03:53] But the war never left him see

[00:03:55] He left the war

[00:03:56] But the war never left him see

[00:03:58] He left the war

[00:03:59] But the war never left him see

[00:04:01] He left the war

[00:04:02] But the war never left him see

[00:04:04] He left the war

[00:04:07] Sometimes gunfire's

[00:04:09] Brighter than the sunshine

[00:04:10] Sometimes a child's scream

[00:04:12] Influences every dream

[00:04:13] Sometimes we fool ourselves

[00:04:15] Into thinkin' we've moved on

[00:04:16] But no way no how

[00:04:17] Do we ever forget what we've seen

[00:04:19] No way no how

[00:04:20] Do we ever forget what we've seen

[00:04:22] No way no how

[00:04:23] Do we ever forget what we've seen

[00:04:25] No way no how

[00:04:26] Do we ever forget what we've seen

[00:04:28] No way no how

[00:04:29] Do we ever forget what we've seen
