I was running from a distant memory
running as fast as I could
Running from that distant memory
but it stayed I knew it would

I ran from all that threatened
to bring it about
threatened to make it shout
I was numb but at the same time
sensory overload

It sticks to my brain
it makes me weep
It sticks to my cornea
ellude me from sleep
Make it go away
please make it go away
please go love
no please stay

I tried to claw that image out
I tried by will to bring some peace about
Not today it slowly whispered
not today I am here to stay

It sticks to my brain
it makes me weep
It sticks to my cornea
ellude me from sleep
Make it go away
please make it go away
please go love
no please stay
