"Torn To Shreds" lyrics

"Torn To Shreds"

Passing emotions lead us to
Places so far in the past
Encounters, persons, themes
That means so much to us

Everytime when go there
It's different again
New shades appear - the old fades away
Nuances chance our view

Sometimes darkness - sometimes light
Day becomes the blackest light
When present and memory collide
We sway the unwritten past

A complicated quest just to find
The desired peace of mind

Invisible wounds
Opened wide

Aversion turns into glorification
Hate turns into an indefinable kind of love

Will we ever forgive?
Will we ever forget?

Looking at it in retrospect
Do we regret

It's just a matter of our view
A matter of our mood
Unfixable, unchanceable
Yet impermanent

A place inside our heads
Chaotic and full of shreds
Shreds of yesteryear
That won't disappear

Dismembered and put together
Consistence - tough as a feather
Lightweight but there to stay
Though details fade away

Though details fade away
The unwritten past
We sway
We sway the unwritten past

Passing emotions lead us to
Places so far in the past
Encounters, persons, themes
That means so much to us

Sometimes clarity - sometimes blur
The here and now - a saboteur
Manipulating the scene
No chance to intervene

Everytime when go there
It's different again
New shades appear - the old fades away
Nuances chance our view

Aversion turns into glorification
Hate turns into an indefinable kind of love
