Lyrics
Looking over my shoulder at the road that follows
Reflecting on the path behind
What once seemed to matter now dust at my feet
Things that used to be important now hold no value
Memories whisper at the edge of perception
Recollections faintly present
Silent reminders of a life incomplete
Memories that indicate an unfinished life
And all that remains
Only the wounds are left as reminders
Are the scars to remind me
Scars serve as a memory of pain and struggle
And all the lives I've thrown away
Regrets of lost opportunities and relationships
And all that remains
Only remnants of a confined existence
Are the bars that confine me
Literal or figurative barriers restricting progress
To a past I can't escape
A past that continues to affect the present
Words that are unspoken are now reminders
Unexpressed words now serve as memories
Each second dies a silent death unmourned
Each passing moment unacknowledged and lost
I tried as a martyr to lead her, to guide her
An attempt to guide someone but ended up alone and scorned
Now I'm alone painted by the color of scorn
Feeling isolated and rejected
And all that remains
Remnants of pain and struggle persist
Are the scars to remind me
Scars as constant reminders of difficult times
And all the lives I've thrown away
Regret over lost chances and decisions
And all that remains
Continued confinement by past experiences
Are the bars that confine me
Limits imposed by past actions or circumstances
To a past I can't escape
A past that remains inescapable
