Testo Remember Sammy Jankis Staples
Memories inside have captured me
Theyâre sitting by my bedside and captivating my mind
Vengeance is mine, or soon will be
Revenge is my time-line; your payback is my deadline
Is it everything I thought that it would be?
Licking all of my wounds so faithfully
Wanting peace, but flaunting this disease
As this pain sleeps so bitterly
This is life:
What a glorious means to find release
Itâs your eye for my eye
Can I keep living with this pain for my ârelief?â
Itâs your eye for my life
Bottled up inside, and swallowing me
Iâve fallen in love with hate, and now Iâm finding that itâs too late
This bitterness wonât leave, so now I see
By harboring these memories, they now own me
âRetributionâs on the line. Youâll get yours and Iâll get mine.â
This is life:
What a glorious means to find release
Itâs your eye for my eye
Can I keep living with this pain for my ârelief?â
Itâs your eye for my life
Itâs not everything I thought that it would be â
Living with the past, so fervently
And all that Iâve learned through this misery
Is that memory is treachery
