it all comes back on certain days
in a torrential downpour
emotions, not just memories
emotions lend credence to thoughts
in a torrential downpour
I feel submerged, but so alive
emotions lend credence to thoughts
I can feel it in my blood stream
I feel submerged, but so alive
it all comes back on certain days
I can feel it in my blood stream
emotions, not just memories
