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
