I thought I'd forget
And time would heal
My minds a trap
Where scars are sealed
There is no escape
From the hour glass
framed in bars of steel
So I won't get past the past
With sweat on my brow
I built my home
From grains of sand
To pillars of stone
The walls were all choked
With weeds and dead grass
That bled my dried out bones
So I won't get past the past
The years slipped on by
The curve in the bowl
Tall flowers grew
Up through the hole
I looked up the stalks
Through my iron mask
To fields of marigolds
So I won't get past the past
