Shadows in My Mind

Shadows haunt the corners of my mind

Echoes of the past I can't unwind

I wish my mind could forget what my eyes have seen

Scenes that flicker like a haunted movie screen

Memories that cut like a jagged seam

Lost in a nightmare I can't redeem

Every whispered secret, every silent scream

Fades like smoke into the stream

Can I find a place to cleave?

From the ghosts that deceive

Oh, I wish my mind could forget what my eyes have seen

Erase the scars, the silent screams

Let the darkness drift downstream

Dream of peace, a calmer dream

Eyes that witnessed distant desert storms

Hearts that shattered, broke the norms

Trying to breathe through stormy chimes

Search for light in darkened times

Hold onto hope, break the scheme

Rise above the shadowed gleam

Find a way to believe

Beyond the grief and the pain

Oh, I wish my mind could forget what my eyes have seen

Erase the scars, the silent screams

Let the darkness drift downstream

Dream of peace, a calmer dream

Maybe one day, wounds will heal

Time's gentle hand will make me feel

Like I’m finally free from the scene

Of what my eyes have seen

So I’ll whisper softly to the night

Seeking dawn from endless night

Till dawn breaks the dread and the scene

And I forget what my eyes have seen
