Tap...Tap...Tap...

i'm sitting here trying to piece together the puzzle of last night

There's the tapping of a hammer in my head

 

Tap

Tap

Tap...

 

Wooden splinters stuck in my knuckles

Encased in dried blood, last nights fossils

Bruised, bloodied, and damaged

 

Tap

Tap

Tap...

 

The hammer keeps pounding

The memories are still fleeting

Crumbling in the ashes

 

Tap

Tap

Tap...

 

A crash as a bottle breaks

Glass slicing through my palms

And everything else is black

 

Tap

Tap

Tap...

 

Regain consciousness with the sunrise

Look for my connection back to the world

With the hammer tapping in my head

 

Tap

Tap

Tap...
