Lyrics: I seem to recognize your face Haunting, familiar yet, I can't seem to place it Cannot find the candle of thought to light your name Lifetimes are catching up with me All these changes taking place, I wish I'd seen the place But no one's ever taken me Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away... I swear I recognize your breath Memories like fingerprints are slowly raising me, you wouldnt recall, for I'm not my former It's hard when you're stuck upon the shelf I changed by not changing at all, small town predicts my fate Perhaps that's what no one wants to see I just want to scream...hello... My god its been so long, never dreamed you'd return But now here you are, and here I am Hearts and thoughts they fade...away... +++++++++++ | Raileff | +++++++++++
