Lapse

I know, what do you know?

I remember

I see, what do you see?

I remember

And I feel, what do you feel?

I remember

All of those days

Stretched out in line

Vertebrae spools in a spine

And I cry, why do you cry?

'Cause I remember

And I smile, why do you smile?

'Cause I remember

All of those moods

Entangled, entwined

What was once skin becomes rind

And I speak, why do you speak?

'Cause I remember

And I scream, why do you scream?

'Cause I remember

All of those lies

Compounding through time

Cortical clues to the crime

And I fall, when do you fall?

When I remember

And I fly, when do you fly?

When I remember

All of those skies

I'll never find

Circuits short out in my mind
