Memories crowd the corners

Of my aching mind

Dark crazy shadows

A fist full of thorns

Twisting in my bloody side

Pain's bitter sorrows

Sometimes they wake me

From my deepest sleep

Telling me dark secrets

That they keep!

Good things are out of reach

Or slip away from me

This life's a misery!

Clinging to each moment

As it slips into the past!

Seems as though the good times had

Were never meant to last!

One by one and on and on

The night destroys the days!

Remember that the stars can't shine

Until the daylight fades!

Good things are out of reach

Or slip away from me

This life's a misery!

Misfortune follows me

And wrecks all the plans I've made

To ruins of sadness

Dark clouds are overhead

To rain on my parade

A flood of madness

Sometimes I wonder

Will it ever end?

Will fate turn kind

And treat me like a friend?

Good things are out of reach

Or slip away from me

This life's a misery!

Clinging to each moment

As it slips into the past!

Seems as though the good times had

Were never meant to last!

One by one and on and on

The night destroys the days!

Remember that the stars can't shine

Until the daylight fades!

Memories crowd the corners

Of my aching mind

Dark crazy shadows

A fist full of thorns

Twisting in my bloody side

Pain's bitter sorrows

Sometimes I wonder

Will it ever end?

Will fate turn kind

And treat me like a friend?

Good things are out of reach

Or slip away from me

This life's a misery!

Clinging to each moment

As it slips into the past!

Seems as though the good times had

Were never meant to last!

One by one and on and on

The night destroys the days!

Remember that the stars can't shine

Until the daylight fades!
