Around the Sun

I awoke in the cleanest
Bed sheets on earth
In the dreaded morning
The air felt like a curse
Behind the counter with the drawers
We organize the bills
In the early of the morning
Took the car for a fill
What’s the date?
I can’t remember
It all just blends together
Spinning around the sun
Until we burn up
In the lines between traffic
Familiar and clean
In the hands of the headrest
I nearly fell asleep
Constant push of conditioned air
Dries our face and skin
I got distracted just chewing on my pen
Took the ink all in
What’s the date?
I can’t remember
It all just blends together
Spinning around the sun
Until we burn up
What’s the date?
I can’t remember
It all just blends together
Spinning around the sun
Until we burn up
You wouldn’t survive
Without dependence on something
Drinks or big cigars
Drugs, prescribed or self-served
You wouldn’t survive
Without a way to pass the time
Clothes or antique cars
Songs once heard then forgot
What’s the date?
I can’t remember
It all just blends together
Spinning around the sun
Until we burn up
What’s the date?
I can’t remember
It all just blends together
Spinning around the sun
Until we burn up
