The simplest things I remember
Impressions considered before
Thin fragments veiled in white
A bleached out still, I couldn't ignore
I stop and stare in reflection
Each image, the struggle it cost
The priceless memories clearly framed in my mind
An element lost
Come in and stay a while
The drinks are cold, our lives on trial
The pictures, faded lines
The conversation keeps them so alive, alive
The sounds of youth I remember
The songs that yesterday bore
Contagious fragments all engraved with a style
Emotions explored
I feel the mercury rise
Detains indefinitely
I play them on repeat
I couldn't explain, the spirit remains
Come in and stay a while
The drinks are cold, our lives on trial
The lyrics, faded lines
The conversation keeps them so alive, alive
