This Day

I don't know what's going on
But I can't help but feel
That somethings wrong
I used to think that I was strong
But all of that was gone
The moment that I knew
I had lost you
And there was nothing I could do
I've since spent every day
Trying to escape
From the horrors that I've faced

I would blot this day
I would blot this day
I would blot this day out of history
Block this day
I would block this day
I would block this day from my memory

Though I've tried to get away
The demons of that day have followed me
And though the faces aren't the same
The tragedy will be
But I won't just sit by and let this happen
If there is something I can do
So I will spend each day
Doing everything
To keep history from repeating

I would blot this day
I would blot this day
I would blot this day out of history
Block this day
I would block this day
I would block this day from my memory

I've found that life's
The cruelest teacher anyone can have
Its lessons lie
Somewhere behind the tortures of the past

All these years I've kept this locked away
Through my tears I'll search these memories
For a way to move forward
Something I couldn't do before
Now the screams that I hear in my sleep
No longer seem to be accusing me
But have no reply
When I ask them to tell me why
Can someone tell me why
Please tell me there's a reason
That I'm the one who survived
Was it in vain
Or has all this pain been for this moment?

I have reached the day
I have reached the day
I have reached the day
Of my reckoning
From this ache
I'll fan into flame
All the bravery
Deep inside of me

For Already
I have lived this day
I have lived this day
One too many times
For your sake
And for what's at stake
I'll live in a way
Worthy of your life
