somethings will just gather dust 
and others will fade to rust 
just like this poem that wrote itself 
my heart gathers dust on a shelf

From a Distance

Why can't we remember?
Thanks for listening 💖

Lyrics: 
Verse 1:
why do we pretend?
that every single path leads to the end 
our love is moving back but it can’t stand
the words of affirmation 

yet we dig and pull 
at all the little things that make us old 
obsess over the fact 
that when we die 
no one will remember 

Chorus 1:
walking down the road 
we are regurgitated empty souls 
a minor influx of something cloned 
why can’t we remember? 

Verse 2:
XY chromosomes 
the certain entity that is unknown 
we label ourselves to feel safe 
but we are all uncertain 

confided in a box 
we trapped ourselves with language and it sucks 
binary thinking got caught 
in things we CAN remember  

yeah yeah yeah yeah 

Chorus 2:
walking down the road 
we are regurgitated empty souls 
a minor influx of something cloned 
why can’t we remember? yeah

Alchemy

here and then there.
