Night falls eyes crawl Into the back of my mind stall These thoughts take me off this sleep lost me I saw How the wages cost me They assault me I'm flawed Now I'm at the cross roads Full of pot holes I call Memory lane it ain't the interstate way Every trip that you will take Pay the toll who can save your soul? Pump the brakes on your imagination The problem isn't present stop the fascination Find the exit you will wreck it in the rear view And find that seconds turn to hours when it steers you You'll take some turns, hop a curb, shift and swerve now they come Memories not meant to be instinctively break down someone I know they come like a loaded gun Recollections of regret and shame The podium of my soul becomes A sad display of my deadly ways Memory Lane Then I remember the pain Then I remember the stains I'm feeling ashamed I need a way Out of the memory lane I need an escape Get out of my brain Don't run back in the retrospective You won't last in that intersection Past mistakes In the grass like snakes Take the pleasure from the present Like some exes at your wedding I'm able to reflect Not to hang up my offense Or lay down in the depths Of the things that led to death A scar is proof of the pain But truly displays proof of the healing Let the pictures framed from wicked days Show bigger grace no ceiling Memory Lane Then I remember the pain Then I remember the stains I'm feeling ashamed I need a way Out of the memory lane I need an escape Get out of my brain Memories of my enemies And everything that would injure me I'm not okay won't pretend to be I'm bout to break from the memory The mind is a dangerous place Sometimes you may end up a slave Memory lane feeling ashamed How will you ever escape Give me amnesia Sever that season I don't want see the Face of my demons What is the reason I guess regret can effectively teach us My debt is a credit in Jesus Had to lose myself to know the joy Of learning to treasure His Kingdom You might go there but remember don't stay I know a lot a dreams that died out on memory lane Memories of my enemies And everything that would injure me I'm not okay won't pretend to be I'm bout to break from the memory Memories of my enemies And everything that would injure me I'm not okay won't pretend to be I'm bout to break from the memory
