days long gone -------------------------------------------
cant hear the music
cant listen to the lyrics
of those tainted memories
each word is a reverie
of those days long gone
i'll still hear the laughter
and all the screaming
in my nightmares forever
used to think i was dreaming
before reality crashed in
killed the sweet delusion
made children of men
i'd kill for the illusion
of those days long gone
when i was still naive
i could still believe
in childrens faery tales
before i was failed
in those days long gone
cant listen to the music npow
cant hear the lyrics now
of those days long gone
I love the part that says, "i'll still hear the laughter and all the screaming in my nightmares forever." It brings back a lot of memories from those days long gone. Interesting how that can be both good and bad.
But I'd kill for the illusion of them too.
I would point out the rest of my favorite parts as well, but I'd end up copying and pasting the whole thing.
