Lyrics

I've got some scattered pictures
Lying on my bedroom floor (Verse 1)
Reminds me of the times we shared
Makes me wish that you were here

Now it seems I've forgotten
My purpose in this life (Verse 2)
Well all the songs have been erased
Guess I've learned from my mistakes

Open the past and present now and we are there
Story to tell and I am listening (Chorus)
Open the past and present and the future too
It's all I got and I'm giving it to you

Loose ends ties in knots
Leaving a lump down in my throat
Gagging on a souvenir (Verse 3)
Lodged to fill another year

Drag it on and on
Until my skin is ripped to shreds (Verse 4)
Leaving my self open wide
Living out a sacrifice

(Chorus)

If you've got no one
And I got no place to go
Would it be alright? (Bridge)
Could it be alright?

(Verse 1)
(Verse 2)
(Chorus)
