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

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

Than the sunshine*[00:00:27]

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

Influences every dream[00:00:29]

Sometimes we fool ourselves[00:00:31]

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

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

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

No way no how [00:00:37]

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

No way no how [00:00:40]

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

No way no how [00:00:43]

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

No way no how [00:00:46]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The other piece[00:01:01]

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

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

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

He left behind[00:01:06]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

He was barely eighteen[00:01:20]

Murdering people even younger[00:01:21]

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

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

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

Smells the flesh[00:01:28]

Tastes the death[00:01:28]

Sees the blood[00:01:29]

Feels the pain[00:01:30]

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

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

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

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

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

Trying to sleep[00:01:39]

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

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

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

Everyday he wakes[00:01:45]

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

And forget the horror [00:01:48]

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

Fists are always clenched [00:01:51]

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

Real life is lost [00:01:54]

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

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

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

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

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

His whole life there[00:02:02]

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

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

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

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

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

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

He left the war [00:02:13]

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

He left the war [00:02:16]

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

He left the war [00:02:19]

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

He left the war [00:02:22]

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

He left the war[00:02:25]

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

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

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

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

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

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

Now he knows[00:02:37]

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

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

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

Through my heart[00:02:43]

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

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

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

Gush some love[00:02:48]

And curse some more[00:02:49]

Now you know who[00:02:50]

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

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

But they sunk alone[00:02:54]

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

To hide him from[00:02:56]

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

He tried to slit[00:02:59]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Politicians have a dispute[00:03:24]

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

But the truth is[00:03:26]

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

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

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

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

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

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

And although he never[00:03:36]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

He left the war [00:03:51]

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

He left the war [00:03:55]

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

He left the war [00:03:58]

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

He left the war [00:04:01]

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

He left the war[00:04:04]

Sometimes gunfire's[00:04:07]

Brighter than the sunshine[00:04:09]

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

Influences every dream[00:04:12]

Sometimes we fool ourselves[00:04:13]

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

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

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

No way no how [00:04:19]

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

No way no how [00:04:22]

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

No way no how [00:04:25]

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

No way no how [00:04:28]

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