Amazing how a song can feel like a hug<\/p>\n
A manufactured memory that brings you sweet tears<\/p>\n
Warm fuzzies and a cup of tea<\/p>\n
Just the way you like it<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Haunting how you can hear it in someone else’s voice<\/p>\n
Singing you to sleep<\/p>\n
But it can’t be<\/p>\n
He left you, remember<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
These memories you’re supposed to have<\/p>\n
The life you’re supposed to live<\/p>\n
Exhausting nights when the Sandman doesn’t come<\/p>\n
Or when he does he dumps a bucket of sand over your head<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
You wake<\/p>\n
Gasping for air<\/p>\n
Choking on the invisible particles<\/p>\n
You quiet yourself<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The softness in their voices<\/p>\n
Something you were supposed to have<\/p>\n
Its absence is creeping in<\/p>\n
You can’t stop listening<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Why is everything I enjoy plagued by my shortcomings<\/p>\n
Everything I do brought down a level<\/p>\n
Because you weren’t there?<\/p>\n
Do I haunt you?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Take my eyes and with it my tears<\/p>\n
They don’t look like yours anyways<\/p>\n
A distant memory of me on your knee<\/p>\n
Every birthday wish that you’ll come back<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Insomniac mind in the Moonshadow<\/p>\n
Racing with the if’s<\/p>\n
Losing every time<\/p>\n
The prize a night of rest<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
