Rick Massley: Music
Harmless Memories
"Harmless Memories"
The gate swings open You don't want to go
Your dues have been paid You're still askin' how much you owe
It's hard to turn and walk away from all you thought was true
The truth can dig a deeper well when you start somewhere new
So bring all the ghosts you endure down to their knees
They're not part of today They're only Harmless Memories
Promises broken The sacrifice made
Your heart's in the weeds The pretender is swinging his blade
You reached out for the universe assuming your reward
You fell off into a deeper place where no one's adored
So lift your head to the sky and rise from your knees
They're not meant for today They're only Harmless Memories
Someone's waiting gonna make you feel alive
And fill your empty chalice with their wine
The time you're wasting is haunting you taunting you
Tear that curtain down and let it shine
It's hard to turn and walk away from all you thought was true
The truth can dig a deeper well when you start somewhere new
The last words I heard her say as I fell to my knees
She said don't be afraid they're only Harmless Memories
She said don't be afraid they're only Harmless Memories
