Finished at 4:54 AM
Bring me back to when
My life wasn't so gray
Back to when my life
Wasn't just the day to day
A sensation in your gut
That doesn't like to leave
That grows, infests, and conquers
You gasp, you cough, you wheeze
And so as time runs through
With pain established so
Comfort can be found
In what you used to know
Small specific truths
That ground reality
In places, things, and persons
That shape morality
That might just keep us sane
Or rather they just kept
For now that future’s here
Those truths are cleanly swept
So as I lay awoken
From a sleep now dead
Bring me back to when
I had an empty head.
