Prisoner of Your Memory

 You’re just a prisoner of your memory

Darling I mean that literally

Don’t talk to me condescendingly

You’re just a prisoner of your memory,

Every moment that you wait

Every time that you express hate

Just another love you can devastate

More thin ice upon which you can skate,

You really think you’re in control

But, you’re just losing your soul

Remember breaking hearts will take its toll

Doesn’t take an opinion poll to know,

You’re just a prisoner of your memory

Just cast your bottle into the sea

Maybe the fifth time will be the key

Punish them all because of your memory,

I should be drinking by this time

Seems my love life can’t align

With evil angels so sublime

What’s the point of this rhyme?

In another life I could have been

Mister Good Guy who takes it on the chin

What kind of hell did I let in?

Oh the Devil with your grin,

Pandora’s box aint made of tin

There’s plenty of pain from within

Can’t you feel it on your skin?

At 2:00 in the morning where you been?

You’re just a prisoner of your memory

No need to pontificate don’t you see?

Won’t you ever just let it be?

Even Eagles fish in the sea,

Now I’ll reach for another glass

Some fools think they got class

If I can bed just one more young lass

Will I be forgiven at a Midnight Mass?

You’re captured by your memories

Keep them to yourself if you please

Tired of begging on my hands and knees

Just watch where the hell you sneeze.
