Before - Wye Oak

This morning

I woke up on the floor

Thinking I have never dreamed before

And in the afternoon

The nagging thought

That I have never lived or else forgot

I tell you stories

But truth be told

I can’t remember

What came before

That’s how I know

That’s how I know

And I am brand new

And not so whole

That’s how I know

On paper

I’m waving with a grin

Proof of places I have never been

So I pull you forward towards this spot

That I have never seen or else forgot

I show you pictures

Of this very corner

But I can’t remember

Who pushed the shutter

I have no answer

You say «No matter»

My only memory

Is coming home

That’s how I know

This morning

I woke up on the floor

Thinking I have never dreamed before
