Story Behind The Song
I wrote this almost four years ago and just never got around to mapping it out and laying it down. I met up with an ex of mine and after talking to her for the duration of hanging out, I started to remember all the reasons I took off. ....She drove me crazy.

Lyrics
I've stored away all the bad times
Now that we have come to pass
I'm wakin' up & I'm now movin on
Where I stand tomorrow's clear now that you're gone.
Cause you don't know me
I wish you only knew
Did you ever look at yourself?
(Chorus)
& take it now
the memories now are safe
the two of us
& I will lay it down in ashes
the dying flame
soon to dust
(verse)
I drew the line a long time ago on this
In the wake of a dream, left in the past.
Cause you were time I realized I'd never get back
But you have only hurt yourself
So gather all that you can find
I am no longer blind
(Chorus)
And take it now the memories now are safe
The two of us
& I will lay it down in ashes the dying flame
Soon to dust
There's nothing more to work out
Nothing left to see
For you are no longer the trouble with me
(chorus)
Take it now
the life we've found is safe
the two of us
& I will lay it down in ashes
the dying flame-
