Resurgence of a ghost I left behind

This is a poetic remix of a song I've written and recorded. I have always been facinated with re-working lyrics in songs to achieve a different feel, tone, mood, ect...This is the poetic remix of a song titled 'Betrayel, the resurgence of my best'. The remixed title is above. I actually combined lines from opposite versus, and added more susbstance. I think it has turned out rather well. I might actually take this re-write and record of 2nd version of this song. It has taken on a new meaning for me through all of the re-working. Enjoy:

Leaves become memories treasured
Gusts of reflection rush past
Cold reality bites and is measured
Daylight now passes too fast
Or maybe just right
Moods find symbiosis in seasons
As the birds take flight
I’m all alone in search of reason
Candlelight plays in rhythm on the walls
Wine glasses vessel pain
My soul is open, it’s easier to fall
On the outside I refrain

Caramel and crimson frame
A portrait god painted
Lips caressing away pain
You left me tainted
Slow embraces foreshadow
The commencing attachment
Risking it all I begin to fall
Risking it all I begin to fall
Pried loose from chains
Searching frantic, reason takes flight
The cool autumn breeze
Bites me and stings
Every memory fluttering past
Like burned out dying leaves
The photographs tucked away
Waiting pathetically for a rainy day
Tears couldn’t come this time
Maybe closure will come to stay
Lights dim and gloom
Do nothing to help this mood
Why is it that I’ve reached this point
But don’t want to be over you

Fuck you and your smile
The way you always thought you’re right
Fuck your words, random, so wild
Seductive and mysterious, just like the night
Fuck how I can’t let you go
I just want you to know
Fuck how I can’t let you go
You really should know
It’s impossible to let you go
No regrets is what I’ve preached
The past lives in the minds of the weak
So I swallow my words with booze
You’re really the one thing I need
But then I wouldn’t want you
If I knew I had you
Insecurity and confusion
Deliver the woeful news
I’m only happy when I’m hurt
Soaked in blood, face in the dirt
So I let you push me, prod me, punch me
Use me up, and toss me to the curb

Leaves become memories treasured
Gusts of reflection rush past
Cold reality bites and is measured
Daylight now passes too fast
Or maybe just right
Moods find symbiosis in seasons
As the birds take flight
I’m all alone in search of reason
Candlelight plays in rhythm on the walls
Wine glasses vessel pain
My soul is open, it’s easier to fall
On the outside I refrain

In the cool autumn breeze
This is me on my knees
Begging you to never call
It’s too massive a tease
Photos buried in the drawer
Can’t even remember what for
They’re just poses of a stranger
I just don’t want to love you anymore
