-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
