I've been tottering on the edge for so long, I don't remember what this feels like. Each morning, fresh and new, I am reborn, brethren of the Phoenix. I'm scared to step, for fear of the Void. It surrounds me, beckoning, awaiting my next slip, a trip down memory lane. But I've rid myself of those messy times, I think? Hard to say when you're two pills away from going insane. All I have is my mind and all my mind has is Time. Time to waste or time to spare? I've wasted away for days and days, so I can spare you sometime today. I'd like to sit, do you have some tea? Please, tell me, tell me, tell me. Your life, your death, I want it all. I'm making an album of eternity. Why? you ask. Well, I'd like to remember, see my memory isn't very good. So if you tell me everything, I can write it down, then I'll never forget. You could call me a historian, or herstorian. But I'm not interested in the past anymore, only the future.
