Forgetting
I panic as fair sleep swallows my face
My pencil-tip swerves, a wild EKG
The world slips away at a frightful pace
Long have I shunned moonshine to save my grace
Yet, diamonds I see are dregs and debris
I panic as fair sleep swallows my face
The pill of unknowing, the drug of base
Eyes, dampens the text I see and un-see
The world slips away at a frightful pace
Sinister rubber sounds start to erase
My fingers, my heart, my pelvis, my knee
I panic as fair sleep swallows my face
Strikes my brain, forces my hand to misplace
My faith. As humor dies and thoughts fly free
The world slips away at a frightful pace.
I am lost in betting on a rat race
The elevator pings: purgatory
I panic as fair sleep swallows my face
The world slips away at a frightful pace
I panic as fair sleep swallows my face
My pencil-tip swerves, a wild EKG
The world slips away at a frightful pace
Long have I shunned moonshine to save my grace
Yet, diamonds I see are dregs and debris
I panic as fair sleep swallows my face
The pill of unknowing, the drug of base
Eyes, dampens the text I see and un-see
The world slips away at a frightful pace
Sinister rubber sounds start to erase
My fingers, my heart, my pelvis, my knee
I panic as fair sleep swallows my face
Strikes my brain, forces my hand to misplace
My faith. As humor dies and thoughts fly free
The world slips away at a frightful pace.
I am lost in betting on a rat race
The elevator pings: purgatory
I panic as fair sleep swallows my face
The world slips away at a frightful pace
