As If
Each word strikes
With venomous precision
Painful thoughts linger
Digging up visions
Making it hard to let go of the past
It’s almost as if
You want it to last
As if reason
Forgot to rhyme
Demanding repayment
Of some petty crime
As if forgiveness
Passes all understanding
Is met with a silence
That’s less than commanding
These eyes look forward
There’s better tomorrows
Life’s darkest days filled
With love…lost their sorrows
Yet, in your words the shadows are cast
It’s almost as if
You want it to last
In your words…my old friend...
The shadows are cast
As if it’s too hard
To let go of the past…..

a little something about these lyrics...lets just say, they were inspired by my latest attempt to listen to AB...technically...they are great, all the way around...will always wish them the best...but those lyrics, just push my buttons..
