The time obliterates us
Asking only for your remembrance
Your sorrow and other tomorrow
But they come and go … a day to reap a day to sow
The code chastises me into a memory
Something I’ve been looking for, looking for but not much more
Never found, sleeping safe and sound
Keep me hidden away, a thought for another day
Keep it away from me, this is something
It's a sudden remembrance day
How interprets the first glance
Where every thought that perhaps, it's just an outline
Accessible by people with credentials but not by me
I wandered and wondered but the casual thought
Is just something that was not
A memory of that they’ve gone by
Persecuted, nothing was done, nothing was said
No remembrance for the life they’ve learned
Everything they wanted, the dreams that they spared
To all delays they shared, the stories they told
It’s all grown old, grown by the wayside or forgotten
Something you could never have tied down
Because oh man, it didn’t happen
Like Johnny said, believing you will be saved
Might say the ruling was some work.
And some forgotten grave for a stake in place
As planned by his dad ten years before
That doesn’t constitute a marriage as sacred sacrifice
All the throne and hold the fights my son, you are sanctified
Last night I had a dream
I can’t really put it into words but I will try
I remember… well I remember silence
As I meant something nothing maybe for the first time
There was nothing around me nothing to guide me
Nothing to push me or tell me or command me
For the first time in so long that I had nothing but myself
But Johnny, take a bite from this really tasty Italian pasta
I made myself just for your anniversary
Take a bite just for me.
And memories, is what happens when I shouldn’t
What I know is what I couldn’t, It has been possible
I share the memories of the people that were me
Times before me things that happened score me,
Strain me make me something I don’t remember
Something from a different place
Maybe I could refine what we know to be something
Reveal something that could have stiffened like some reality
And never thought of before but have and we are ready for it
Today it’s something that just shakes me
Something redirects me
Some kind of fabric connects me to everything else
Testing the boundaries
Some calamity separates us
A way of placing the commotion
A different angle of perception, intervention
