"Oh How Foolish Could I Be"

close minded memories
blocking new feelings
stuck in the remnants of love
letting it linger on my tongue
thinking i knew it all
what was i thinking?
the armies in my heart have shattered
breeding in new soil
believing in new feelings
i don't long for resurrection
i desire to breathe in love
rather than continue choking
the past is dead like winter
the future screams like spring
sometimes i think i know what i'm saying
but have no idea what it all means
to play like a child
to taste the simple freedom
to wander alone in a haze
to be lost and in love
