Storm Drain

The dried up blood of guilt and shame
All the mistakes that I've made
Are carved into the concrete that have once made up these city streets
I wonder if they wash away, from heavy downpour, another rain
Like fleeting years, that I have second guessed
Get flushed down the storm drains

But I know I've learned
From these years and what they left behind
The lessons of the hardship
That repeat when we don't grow to change
And they seem like never ending

Don't look back
With a weary head and a heart full of regrets
Don't look back
'Cause you are not defined not by your past

Searching for some shelter from the gloominess of life
The winter grey throughout the years that's eating you alive
Worried about the footprints you think you'll leave behind
But nothing stays with the passing of the times
Now all that's left are memories of drunken nights in high school years
And I've realised that there's nothing for me there
Now all that's left are memories that wilted like the autumn leaves
I've realised that there's nothing for me there
