there's a power off button in the back of my mind
and I'm swimming through my brain to save myself some time
it's blinking a dim ugly light
but it's mine

and there's a loud yelling in the middle of my heart
I'm pounding on my chest to shut it down and press re-start
it's pulsing a heavy sigh
but it's mine

but there's a simple ticking
and a broken watch
a time zone I'll remember
because it's a new year
and a new broken feeling
that I'm drinking to forget
that I once lived inside a dream

but maybe forgetting
isn't as easy
as you make
it seem
