Lyrics:

“Remains of Summer Memories” is the seventh track from Rise Against’s debut album The Unraveling.
All these days
I'll forever cherish
In the confines of my heart
The faces of ten years ago
Like fingerprints on my heart

How can I breathe when fear chokes my every breath?
How can I balance six inches from death?

Now, the momentum we've created
Comes to a screeching halt
This angel comes crashing down
On her hands and knees she crawls

How can I breathe when fear chokes my every breath?
How many of your lies
Will I be fed?

(Hey!)
The remains of summer memories spent so far away
(Hey!)
Free from the fear or jealousy that plagues our lives today
(Hey!)
Now that promises were broken, enemies were made
(Hey!)
We spend our precious time pointing fingers trying to place the blame

The remains
Of what's left of our past
Of a future yet to come
Of the battles that we've lost
And the fights that we have won
