"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
