Your Lasting Image - Into It. Over It.

Abandoned nerves for the night

And threw my fears over the summit’s peak

I dug my nails in the sand

And begged the canyon to begin to speak

I have the faintest recollection of us

I wait for light’s reply

I try so hard, but can’t remember its touch

An endless expanse

To search for purpose when the Earth is flat

I was the last to have known you’d circle back to

Dig your nails in my past

To force my hand before you turned your back

Reducing time and trust to desert’s ash and dust

Well, I have the faintest recollection of us

I echo your reply

I try so hard but can’t remember your touch

I can’t remember your touch

I can’t remember your touch

I can’t remember your touch

I can’t remember your touch

I can’t remember when

Photocopied black and white

This is your lasting image

Your colors fade to remain

Distorted grey, pressed

Pages marking bigger problems

I choose to keep this as the you I’ll fold in two

Just to throw away

I have the faintest recollection of us

I have a faded recollection of us
