Almost Got 'Em

from Anti​-​Charisma Wholesale by Don Blake

lyrics

I’d forgotten how it felt to remember
The words you said to me
An extended cut played on repeat
Holding out my hands, thinking on my feet
Next time, I’ll get ‘em next time
The broken clock agrees
The morning tastes so fresh and clean
Could I get a written guarantee?
In the quiet moments
Deafening loud
Doomed to isolation
Lost in the crowd
I can’t stop
I missed the starting gun
I am yesterday
After tomorrow’s gone
A spinning compass
Swimming through broken glass Tonight
I’m a sad song that has been forgotten
A tree branch, crooked and rotten
Eternal war
With no one keeping score
For now
Summer makes its to exit stage right
The shivers just mean that I’m alive
Nostalgic echoes can’t help omit
Unwelcome narrative parts and
their awkward fit
I’m on a psycho-archeological dig now
Met a skeleton with a matching brush
Cast me in bronze, meet me at the gates
Carve out more thinking time,
believe me, I can wait
The dams, all built with
papier mache fronts
Holding back the flood of
something I said once
I’m falling
Forgot which way is up
It’s “all relative”?
Or “I’ve just had enough”?
A circular debate where
I’ve got nothing to say again
I’m seeing spirals
Buried in everything Zen/hellraiser
Just alternating
A faceless man fixated on a plan
Long crumbled into dust
before he took a look at it
