Old Photos

(album: Banshee - 2012)

Photos of feelings won't capture true meanings, my son
Images fade fast and time is what won't last, my son
You never know who will find all your albums gone missing
Polaroids capture the fly on the wall lovers kissing

Flash the light to freeze the sky each night above these heights

It's how we knew what why old photos click and go
What's then til now and how so it goes, click and go
Oh how bad could it hurt when there's no more scars to show

Pictures of people that smile all the years they existed
Life in a film would that fades fast when names are unlisted
Blank faces look to a lens so their children won't grow up
Forgotten boyfriends and girlfriends do suddenly show up

Flash the light to freeze the sky each night above these heights

It's how we knew what why old photos click and go
What's then til now and how so it goes, click and go
Oh how bad could it hurt when there's no more scars to show

(Old photos will fade away
These photos will fade to grey
Pictures are laid to rest in a special place
Snapshots someday they will erase...)
