lyrics

THESE BATTERED PHOTOGRAPHS

In the darkest corners of where I never go
There's a whole load of people that I used to know
They just sit there quietly waiting, in silence re-creating
Someplace, sometime, somewhere, from long ago

These battered photographs
A frozen friend that laughs
A night from long ago, that now I hardly know
A future we all feared, is fading and dog eared
All bent and torn in half
These battered photographs

Their faces rarely ever see the light of day
And their edges slowly blend before they fade away
I can almost hear their voices, from days before the choices
Of where to go and when or maybe stay

These battered photographs
A frozen friend that laughs
A night from long ago, that now I hardly know
A future we all feared, is fading and dog eared
All bent and torn in half
These battered photographs

So I put them back to rest in their old tin box
My little gun with a trigger but no safety locks
Sending shots off in my head, of the times I thought were dead
Take away the slow decay that the mirror mocks that the mirror mocks

These battered photographs
A frozen friend that laughs
A night from long ago, that now I hardly know
A future we all feared, is fading and dog eared
All bent and torn in half
These battered photographs
