i will not mourn who i was that has gone away - Field Medic

I swear these crows keep getting bigger

Hanging on the fence post together

Nothing’s moved, there’s no winter drawn to thrill

Drawn to surrender

Somewhere deep inside my memory

There’s a kid with a neck so slender

Capsized and ten years later

His arms are tattooed, he looks like a sailor

But I

Will

Will not

I will not mourn who

Who I was that has gone away

Now he’s assumed relaxations posture

So every day he’s underwater

Isolation, cave mouth darkness

Trying to say something but it makes no sense

But somewhere deep inside his memory

There’s a kid that would just go walking

24th Street thrift store shopping

He looks so happy trying on a costume

But I

Will

Will not

I will not mourn who

Who I was that has gone away

How do you perceive the morning sun?

After endless days of dull repetition

Are you reaching out or are you reaching through?

Are you a ghost in an empty room?

In an empty room

Alright

I will not mourn who, who I was that has gone away

Who I was that has gone away

Who I was

Somewhere deep inside my memory

There’s a kid with a neck so slender

Capsized and ten years later

His arms are tattooed, he looks like a sailor

I will not mourn who, who I was that has gone away
