Staring into the well of my own memories
A bucket thrown down comes back up empty
Stories written in the ripple of a fast moving stream
Words swallowed as fast as they appear in the dream

Moments carved into rain
Flowing away as fast as they came

Poured them all in a bottle
That I threw away
Memories faded
Dreams turned to gray
And I’ll never taste the sweet reflections of those special days
Cause they’re all in a bottle
That I threw away
I threw them away

Stories we’re told the morals justify pain
In our own lives, the struggles are best tucked away
Watching the silence, a hollowed out unbroken peace
Whispers are strangled bottled and thrown out to sea

Cleansing the grief and the shame
The comfort is taken away just the same

Poured them all in a bottle
That I threw away
Memories faded
Dreams turned to gray
And I’ll never taste the sweet reflections of those special days
Cause they’re all in a bottle
That I threw away

I threw them away
I threw them away

Moments of joy moments of pain
Both of them mixed captured and thrown far away

Poured them all in a bottle
That I threw away
Memories faded
Dreams turned to gray
And I’ll never taste the sweet reflections of those special days
Yeah they’re all in a bottle
That I threw away
Yeah they’re all in a bottle
That I threw away
Yeah they’re all in a bottle
That I threw away
