Deeper
a familiar tune plays in the back of her mind
a song from a far away place and a far away time
and though she cannot places its name
she knows it, hums along anyway
she can try but inside she knows
she’ll never forget all her sorrows
hidden from thought, they always reappear
next time, she vows, to bury them deeper
a soft, summer scent carried on the breeze
and his mind becomes ill at ease
wrapped up tightly in a lover’s embrace
he barely remembers her angel’s face
he can try but inside he knows
he’ll never forget all his sorrows
hidden from sight, they always reappear
next time, he vows, to bury them deeper
a lone shot rings out somewhere in the dark
so abrupt it nearly stops his heart
his pulse quickens and his vision turns red
a memory of one who should still be dead
he can try but inside he knows
he’ll never forget all his sorrows
in the middle of the night, they always reappear
next kill, he vows, he’ll bury him deeper
you can try but inside you know, I know
we can never forget our sorrows
hidden as they may be
they come back to haunt me
never knowing then they’ll reappear
next time, I vow, I’ll bury them deeper
