Driving down the highway to a place that's not in mind, late at night, I've lost the sun and all concept of time The clock strikes twelve, a new days comes, but the past still flashes by, I cruise through stills of yesterdays, the film strip becomes my guide All of those I used to know come grace my passenger seat One by one they visit, tell a tale, leave, repeat Insanity is all that I can think of to explain These moments can't be real, perhaps a product from my brain, But oh, how real these flashes are, almost to the touch, which makes me realize all that I am missing way too much I'll never speak to what I've seen that's packed in the canister And never will they be exposed by developer and fixer

From My Canon AE-1
Driving down the highway to a place that's not in mind, late at night, I've lost the sun and all concept of time The clock strikes twelve, a new days comes, but the past still flashes by, I cruise through stills of yesterdays, the film strip becomes my guide All of those I used to know come grace my passenger seat One by one they visit, tell a tale, leave, repeat Insanity is all that I can think of to explain These moments can't be real, perhaps a product from my brain, But oh, how real these flashes are, almost to the touch, which makes me realize all that I am missing way too much I'll never speak to what I've seen that's packed in the canister And never will they be exposed by developer and fixer
I take it with me everywhere
