Remember Me This Way


Verse 1:


Careless glimpse up toward the curious skies
Reflections of my coming death hold no silence

Lying on the ground, beneath the battering lies
The morning light refuses to hide your violence


Verse 2:


The world tunes in, carefully amused it seems
Sounds of condolences as swallows sing in unison
Echoing their farewell songs like lucid dreams
They awaken my spirit’s journey soon to come

 

Chorus:


I pray my screams never leave your ear
Perilous pounding fists, that smell of fear
Guilt’s insidious laughter torments you each day
Forget me not, My love, Remember me this way

I pray regret haunts you like a taunting ghost
The love for yourself is what you’ll hate most
The peace you seek always falling astray
Forget me not, My love, Remember me this way


Verse 3:


Beneath the sanctity where absence is unholy
Salvation confronts your fury under my broken skin
Blood soaked intentions soon to forsake me
Where my suffering ends is where your’s begins

Verse 4:


Shame is the prison where you will live confined
I refuse to be the fortress, a shelter to your sin
These crushing kissed words shall reside in your mind
Where I am going you can never hurt me again

Chorus:


I pray my screams never leave your ear
Perilous pounding fists, that smell of fear
Guilt’s insidious laughter torments you each day
Forget me not, My love, Remember me this way

I pray regret haunts you like a taunting ghost
The love for yourself is what you’ll hate most
The peace you seek always falling astray
Forget me not, My love, Remember me this way

Bridge:


In a way, today, we’ll die together
For you, a sinner’s born debt
When you seek absolution
You will only discover regret
Grieved artless implications
that will never let you forget

Chorus:


I pray my screams never leave your ear
Perilous pounding fists, that smell of fear
Guilt’s insidious laughter torments you each day
Forget me not, My love, Remember me this way

I pray regret haunts you like a taunting ghost
The love for yourself is what you’ll hate most
The peace you seek always falling astray
Forget me not, My love, Remember me this way
