As I rewind like cassette tape decks since the first breath Since the beginning now the last ones left Yo the melody is my memory listening for the remedy Reminiscing since pedaling again sounds are medicine Bar robbery nobody here to let us in Started from the bottom I spark it at thee acetylene Thinking back man pour out a little cognac Time keep passing but you can't rewind the zodiac Roaches out the cereal box, cereal box Hear the clock ticking when I'm thinking of ox Reminded of the time when tapes don't get rewinded Provide the soundtrack for the one still survivin The memories keep playing back in my head Dead to me to me in time but we're still moving ahead Memories of mine shadow and silhouettes Fadeaway in time ashes of cigarettes Memories, keep playin back in my head Memories, keep playin back in my head Memories, keep playin back in my head Memories, keep playin back in my head Can it be that it was all just a dream Reverse and reminisce about the things that I've seen Places that I've been were it all just begins Can it be that it was all so simple then Echoing the sound from the words that I've written in Cradle to the ashes flipping the hour glasses Flashes in my head as the time just passes Grasping on anything that was lasting Time flies been immortalized the melody goodbyes Analyze the pain when you lookin in his eyes Often overlooked but not forgotten it was rotten This shit don't last forever when you laying in a coffin Spit a verse for what it's worth laid it down since my birth Some things don't last forever just my time here on earth Cherish every moment every minute that I'm in it I live it, I live it nothing free and nothin given Memories, keep playin back in my head Memories, keep playin back in my head Memories, keep playin back in my head
