So Much So Far

Remind me who my love is

So I can send her flowers for her wedding

Trinkets for her birthday

And ashes for her funeral

Rewind my watch back another hour

So I can pretend to relive the past

 

Remind me what my job is

So I can sit behind a desk each day

Waiting for my paycheck

Watercups and wastebins

Until I can drink up those drab memories

Into that abcess of my mind

 

Remind me what my name is

So I can stand facing the mirror

Reciting it over and over

Glaring at the stubble and the haggard face

Grey hair itching all the roots

Kidding myself I'm not like the rest of them

Maybe one day I'll find out that I am

Until then, remind me why I'm here again.

Reciting it over and over

Glaring at the stubble and the haggard face

Grey hair itching all the roots
