I'd give it all up
If you would please
Just be you again.

all of these memories
keep your feet on the ground
they stop you from running away
they keep you safe and sound

all of these memories
remind you of yesterday
they keep you safe
by keeping your demons away

all of these memories
hide your mistakes from the light
they stop all the whispers
they know how to hold you right

all of these memories
bring light into your life
they keep bad spirits in the shadows
they keep you away from strife

all of these memories
are good at lying to you
they're breaking down
because that's just what memories do.

I pulled the arms off my clock

It stopped waving instantly

And became silent

Leaving only

Meaningless numbers

That I could never call

And all the time in the world

Whole

Undivided

Bleed my name
Every single blood cell should crave my loving
Need me
[I need you to need me ]

Hopes and dreams,
are like teardrops in the rain,
they get lost,
In reality.
