Nerve Endings

(If life is what happens
When we can’t fall asleep
We need to build one another’s perches
Your family and friends
Will always stab you in the front
The end result
Is not one damned thing after another
It’s one damned thing over and over
We aren’t contempt
And this is how we learn!)
Don’t you see it’s time
To let go of everything?
That’s keeping us from the truth
Keeping me from you
So what good are all the pictures
If they have yet to get the frames?
Leave the past in the past
And focus on what you don’t want framed
(Dreams are forever reoccurring!)
And life is what happens
When we can’t fall asleep
And dreams are the same thing
As nightmares
Don’t you see it’s time
To let go of everything?
That’s keeping us from the truth
Keeping me from you
So what good are all the pictures
If they have yet to get the frames?
Leave the past in the past
And focus on what you don’t want framed
Leave your past in the past
We don’t have to keep
All the mistakes we’ve made
(You are keeping me awake!)
Leave your past behind you
(Dreams are forever reoccurring!)
