Imagine if you will
This everything
you remember
will be forgotten by your decendents
you were expecting more
and now
somehow you feel cheated
somehow someone lied to you
About everything magical
But here we are, the lot of us
We're all on the same beach
Looking free
waiting for the tide to
come in take
us away from fear and flesh
No matter how long i
tread these waters
One day i will have to drown
Swallow gulping gasps of oh noes
Give up and in
No more holding it down
No more keeping it out
Sometimes its as if
we all forget together
Do We forget on purpose?
All of us have to die
I am watching
my father's corpse come
over the horizon
The ravens want my eyes
Even though i saved
their only son from
eager claws
The drowning and forgetfulness
that is to become us all
All that i am remembering
Will be forgotten
All that i am made from
Will linger only slightly longer
dusting the shelves laid bare
And forgotten to the sea
