Echoes of Failures - Tantal

In times of solitude I turn to memories,

Sweep away dust from ruins of my past.

There is nothing I can do to change my faults.

In silence I whisper unsaid words… to you.

Take a little look back there are so many things undone

And what has done is all mistakes in which I drown.

I never said a world, never showed affection.

I stuck in my shell there is no connection.

I open my old but still bleeding wounds

And every time I ask myself: «What if I could???»

I’m still hearing the sound of your cries

Memories canker us.

Frozen memories in which I have my life

Hurt me all these years that have passed by.

I regret deep inside my stone cold heart.

Echoes of failures like reflection in the looking-glass,

Echoes of failures chase us through our lives.

All wounds I caused now are mine and scars torn open,

I feel your grief, your pain.

I thought I’ve coped with it.

But time doesn’t heal it and I can’t forgive myself.

Voices from the past are calling me again.

Frozen memories in which I have my life

Hurt me all these years that have passed by.

I regret deep inside my stone cold heart.

Echoes of failures like reflection in the looking-glass,

Echoes of failures chase us through our lives,

Spiraling through time, never know when you meet them.

Recollections of failures.

Keep them!
