(Did I ever tell you?)
It's all just a blur
A life of colours, moving
Blending, swirling
So fast they converge
Into recognisable shapes
Melted by flames of the dawn
Bleeding through blind, screening fabric
To restore, be reborn
Eyelids open like doors
Absorbing toxic air
Filtered through picture frames
Hanging on padded walls
Kaleidoscopic regret
Floods tapestries of mistakes
Veiling futures, drowning presents
Pasts powerless to erase
Did I never tell you?
They finally found me here
Ghosts of every hour
Day, week, month
Every new year
Drag me to hell on earth
But it's just the ground on my feet
A world upside down
Weight crushing down on me
Stumbling through clocks
Forty-three thousand, two hundred ticks to go
Another round left in tocks
A schedule dictation
By procrastination
Evasion
Echoed indignation
Inflation
False-promised salvation
Did I ever tell you?
Did I never tell you?
Did I ever tell you?
Did I never tell you?
Did I ever tell you?
(Did I ever tell you?)
We're feeding the curse
Consuming to resume
Supplement suckle by the scythe
Sustaining the scourge
Despite starving, resisting
Malnourished survival instincts
Physiology mutinies
Subject to what's best for existence
Inhaling on a whim
Breathe against the screams, tears
Cries & pleas
The hourglass flips
Lung capacity reached
Still just minutes to endure
Begging, wishing, praying
The sands skip our next turn
Did I never tell you?
Another day, identical life
We hammer, beat, quench in heat
Confined to shade in their paradise
Three-six-five without fail
Slog, toil, travail
Slaves to the grind
Forging other futures
With blood, sweat, steel & stolen time
Trying to appeal
Kismet rebellion
Destiny insurrection
Contradict the very nature of the wheel
It just keeps spinning, turning
Friction burning into your mind
Never moving from cerebral scars inscribed:
Insanity defined
Did I never tell you?
Did I ever tell you?
Did I never tell you?
Did I ever tell you?
Did I never tell you?
Did I ever tell you?
(Did I never tell you?)
