Memories Of Pain

words: Marco Roelofs

Her eyes tell the sadness she feels inside
Surrounded by darkness while the sun shines bright
The smile on her face is just to pretend
That nothing is wrong but she is marked till the end
Confusion throws a young girl's mind apart
Like a knife that cuts out the feeling of her heart

(CHORUS)
The past, it's never gone, constantly it will return
Memories in her soul, forever burn
Moments of pain, without any fun
There's to much misery in a life that's just begun

She feels old but her age is just seventeen
Dark side of a thing called life is all she's seen
The way she looks tell me more than words can say
She's alone with fears in a world of betray
None can share her pain, it's a stigma deep inside
She needs a rest but it's a never ending fight

(CHORUS)

The tears that have fallen, they will fall again
Again and again she feels the fear she felt then
Her only wish is to lock that door to the past
And throw away the key faster than fast
Only than stops the pain she doesn't deserve
Only than stops the pain that none deserves

(CHORUS)

A serious song about a young girl that has been sexual
abused. I've tried to describe the pain she must have felt,
and she feels the rest of her life. But I think also, there
are no words for a filthy crime like incest.
