Shadows Of My Memory

I cry in anger
I cry in pain
I lose my bearings
Can't break the chain

Once I heard that wonders never cease
Let me get my second wind please
Do I have to burn my boats behind?
Do I have to break the ice in mind?

[Pre-chorus]
Just let me see the daylight now
And find the ways and means to carry on somehow

[Chorus]
No smoke without fire
No love without pain
Only the memories remain
It tears at my heartstrings
A past reverie
The shadows of my memory

I eat my heart out
Day out, day in
Go rack to ruin
Cause I'm all in

Did I burn the candles at both ends?
Cannot tell when all got out of hand
All I feel is trapped in daily round
How can I get out here safe and sound

[Pre-chorus]
[Chorus]

Now, I see daylight now
In this evil hour
I'm weathering the storm
When my ship comes home

For a fleeting moment in a dream
I am changing horses in midstream
Heaven only knows
Where the journey...goes
