(Past and present are fleeting, gripping me)
(Nothing sections, wasted, infection, and breeding)
(Squashed and filed away, vacant collapsible piece of time)
(Squashed and filed away inside my mind)
(Suspended moments stored,)
(Stored and left unread.)
(Was I ever a child before, was I ever a child before?)
(I bore, the burden and bear the gift, and spread the sore)
(Was I ever a child before, was I ever a child before?)
(Banal, stripping layers, an invisible coursing war.)
(A slave to believe in always looking back)
(Nothing has beaten meaning, based on fact)
(Fatal blow, fatal blow indeed,)
(Fatal blow, fatal blow.)
(Was I ever a child before, was I ever a child before?)
(I bore, the burden and bear the gift, and spread the sore)
(Was I ever a child before, was I ever a child before?)
(Banal, stripping layers, an invisible coursing war.)
(Tethered, resent me.)
