-flatliners-
a picture
a memory
just like you and i
and memories
are pictures
just more precise
she left me
so i'm keeping it kind
and alone
look for me tomorrow
and by morning
i'll be gone
if you should get there before i do
tell them i said "hello"
i stand just so you can sit
you wait and i will leave
i won't put up
with too much more
so pour the whiskey baby
bend and brew
my fragile little mind
i think it's time to find
my place in line
if you should get there before i do
do tell them, i said "hello"
we all move in shades of time
creeping along viral strands
strains of pain and elastic hope
reminding me of better pane
i hold my breath
so you don't take
the only jewel
i have left
living this life
we can take no chances
so save the victim
and if
you should
get there
before i do
tell them
i said
"hello"
i hope you catch me before i fall
