How Do I Get There
when you're forgotten
memories move too far from you
wishes run through tomorrow's well
widows search the depths for hell
she screams her tangerines
shouting out decimals
ice-cream and scenes of before
watching movies and more
more and more
you hang your head
but I hope you never cry
or realize
what you never had
this is what it feels like
to miss a lie
when you're forgotten
memories move too far from you
living with shadows here and there
hidden by splits in city walls
holding on to me,
myself and no one else
when your secrets expire
I hope you find your peace
more and more
you hang your head
I hope you never cry
or realize
what you never had
this is what it's like
to miss a lie
drive the membranes of your passion
into sparrows singing sane
live within the burrows singing doubt
replaying syndromes next to tones
is it everything you thought it would be
"this reminds me of why i do not think of you"
