lyrics

Took a walk through the yearbooks of my mind
What I sought I can’t say
Maybe some comfort in who I used to be
How he became who I am today

We can’t know how our stories end
The past is just things we tell
What we did, who we did it with
Where we were when the Towers fell

No one ever gets away
We change but something still remains
Of the light and dark and love and shame
From where we came

Now regret comes screaming like a storm
The sound and fury to the front
I close my eyes and remember who I was
Cut myself a break for being young

Is that an outlaw’s way of running from the law
Slipping out of town through the cracks
There’s things that lurk in the yearbooks of my mind
And follow me to where my dreams go black

No one ever gets away
We change but something still remains
Of the light and dark and love and shame
From where we came

No one ever gets away
We change but something still remains
Of the light and dark and love and shame
From where we came
The shame from where we came
