Reminders

When it's all too much to take

I'm at capacity

A failed system sings on the background TV

To my shotgun mouth and apathy

I need reminders of the love I have

I need reminders good or bad

I tilt my chin up in photographs

A subtle way to reinvent the past

With a head so beat and drained

I'm running on empty

As the world collapses with complacency

To knee-jerk takes and fantasy

I need reminders of the love I have

I need reminders good or bad

I tilt my chin up in photographs

A subtle way to reinvent the past

I talk myself out of myself

When I'm overwhelmed

Is there a way to feel free

Without being someone else?

I need reminders of the love I have

I need reminders good or bad

I tilt my chin up in photographs

A subtle way to reinvent the past

I talk myself out of myself

When I'm overwhelmed

Is there a way to feel free

Without being someone else?
