Memories Like a Melody Lyrics

I wake up to pour another drink
A simple way to cope with loss
My hands are shaking in the bathroom sink
As I reflect what I've become

A man can wash away his sins alone
Point the trigger, place the blame
But self desctruction is my gun of choice
I prefer to feel the pain

Memories like a melody
Twisted and unrefined
Piercing beautifully through my mind

Now I will bite my tongue and bide my time
To help me through these winter months
But I would scream your name a thousand times
If you could hear me only once

Memories like a melody
Twisted and unrefined
Piercing beautifully through my mind

Like a river drowning in the rain
What I need to keep me safe
Will only make me lose my way

Memories like a melody
Twisted and unrefined
Piercing beautifully
Piercing aimlessly
Piercing terribly
Through my mind
