Absinthe forest
Where am I and how did I come here
These dim shadows don’t correlate to the figures in my dreams
Who taught me to believe in promises
I’m throwing them off like baggage
Empty, useless words that keep me sitting, waiting
I am lost in a forest
This is all random and meaningless
The essential promises are denied and disavowed
The self is buried under rubble
I can’t trust a word of my own memories
And I definitely can’t trust the words you say
I’ll be damned if I listen a minute longer
Is is just me here
Is it seriously only me
I am telling you all you do wrong and expecting you to change
like it’s a set of clothes and not your series of life choices
It’s too late to change
I know
And so we’re dissociated particles lost in the forest
We can’t see each other through the smoke
My life is a walking talking tragedy
And what do you do with the mad that you feel
Make sure to choose your home based on its school district
I can jeer at you but I still don’t forget that this is reality
Nothing can make me forget this is reality
Staring down into the square glass pool
Won’t make me forget
But my dreams only live within the wires now
