All the moments pass like shrapnel
Cutting deep though I don’t feel
Until when from the bloodloss
My visions starts to reel
I don’t remember who I am
What I was doing here today
Every moment is amnesia
While the stars above me play
I don’t remember getting wasted
I don’t remember being me
I just hope that I survive
Before I cease to be
The twisting cogs inside me
Play a song across my bones
The people praise and deride me
And their voices make a tone
I’m shot through by their whispers
Though I’m deaf and mute
As I chase some fading shadow
Or a dancing piper’s flute
And though each day is new
And each moment’s young
I am the refrain that
Already has been sung
