Why I Cannot Remember

[Verse]
Shadows crawl inside my head,
Voice scream of things I said,
But the mirror shows a stranger’s eyes,
A broken truth wrapped in a thousand lies.
[Pre Chorus]
The fire fades, but the scars remain,
Fragments of a soul lost in the flames.
[Chorus]
Why I cannot remember,
The blood on my hands, the night of surrender—
A hollow echo, a mind torn apart,
Memory’s grave carved deep in my heart.
[Verse]
Pages burn, but the words are gone,
Time erased where I don’t belong.
Every question digs the wound anew,
Is this nightmare me, or it is you?
[Pre Chorus]
The silence screams, tearing through my veins,
A haunted past I can’t contain.
[Chorus]
Why I cannot remember,
The chains on my soul, the weight I must render —
A shattered story, a mind left to rot,
Searching for truth in the answers I’ve lost.
[Bridge]
Locked in the void, where shadows convene,
A curse on my mind, a life unforeseen.
If I am the monster they whisper I am,
Then memory’s mercy has spared me the dammed.
[Final Chorus]
Why I cannot remember,
The blackened abyss, the night I surrendered—
Buried in silence, consumed by the dark,
Forgotten forever, but branded with marks.
[Outro]
I reach for the past but it slips through my hands…
I’ll never remember, yet I’ll never withstand.
