Memory Serves Lyrics

Memory serves
Between the lines
Lying in circles of rope and line
Fills no pattern
Feels no burning
Everything you've seen and heard
Buried in the dusty floor

Memory serves
Memory serves

Heat went slowly
To the floor
Faces break and
Scream for more
Fear the heat the final beat
Shapes and colors side by side
Chained up to an endless high

Memory serves
Memory serves

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
