[Verse 1] I reach for shadows, they slip through my hands Echoes of laughter, gone like the band The past is a ghost, it won’t stay still I chase the silence, but I never will [Chorus] Memories cannot be held They burn, they fade, they rebel Like smoke in the night, they disappear Leaving me alone with the fear [Verse 2] Photographs crumble, the colors decay Voices are static, they drift away I scream at the walls, they don’t reply Only the echoes remind me why [Chorus] Memories cannot be held They burn, they fade, they rebel Like smoke in the night, they disappear Leaving me alone with the fear [Outro (spoken/shouted)] Hold on tight—there’s nothing to hold… Memories slip, and the story grows cold.
