The Dark Side of the Sun

time echoes in my head
beating back the memories
My dreams, my hopes, and all my fears
all just passing by me now
Letting go and setting free
all the things I'd wanted to be
just yesterday it'd seemed so real
I close my eyes and try to see
and through the tears, I realize
that all your memories are gone...
Im lying here in my bed
holding on to fantasies
of what I'd longed for all my years
I close my eyes and wonder how
Letting go and setting free
all the things I'd wanted to be
just yesterday it'd seemed so real
I close my eyes and try to see
and through the tears, I realize
that all your memories are gone...
The pain within my soul is dead
no flowers or eulogies
no throngs of people shedding tears
freedom is all thats left me now
Letting go and setting free
all the things I'd wanted to be
just yesterday it'd seemed so real
I close my eyes and try to see
and through the tears, I realize
that all your memories are gone...
and I lie.

Afraid to close my eyes, here I lie
Struggling, staring, anything but sleep
Sleep brings the dreams, the delusions,
The oh so wondrous nightmares
A tear rolls down my cheek as I awaken
Dammit
Sleep won again, morning came and the nightmare ended
Now reality sets in
What my dreams made me forget is evident once again as I roll over to an empty bed.
No, it isn’t the sleeping that truly scares me, it is the waking afterwards.
