Like a stain that has faded but not gone   Like a cut that has healed but left a scar   Something so deep inside of you   That it can not leave your thoughts   Influences are not always known   But they dictate the course of your life   I will endure and keep searching   Turn away from the answers I'm getting   Some things stay with you a lifetime   Some instants seem to last a lifetime      Constant   This is constant   This is constant for me   Constant   This is constant   This is constant for me      The mind chooses what to hold on to   The rest falls into sweet oblivion   Something that has touched you so deeply   You are unwilling to let go   Without the hope just a steady pain   Drown it out now it's back again   A symbol sparks it once more   Every event now carries a shadow   Some things stay with you a lifetime   Some instants seem to last a lifetime      Constant   This is constant   This is constant for me   Constant   This is constant   This is constant for me      This is a loyal burden on me now   Everything loses meaning   Just because of something that never was   It's all in my mind now      Constant   This is constant   This is constant for me   Constant   This is constant   This is constant for me   Contrition
