I popped this existential pimple
Let the pus drain through my brain
Spent all summer searching for a symbol
Made to resemble a paper plane
Coasting through my memories
With language on its wings
It landed on the only spot
Whereupon [C7]my [A]sadness clings
Unfurled like [F]a wellworn ship's sail
And fraught with boolean stɾings
Recited all, but destined to [C7]fall
I'm tɾying hard to [C7]keep my [A]senses
I'm ɾemembering
It feels a little hazy
But I'm ɾemembering
A time when I implied
I'm not doing fine
Infer what you [A7will
But I'm holding still
I'm ɾemembering
I squint my [A]eyes hard in the sunlight
And ɾeminisce alone
While crows parade around my [A]chimney
Always boasting about how far they've flown
What can ɾeply? I think
There's nothing to [C7]compare
Now stuck in vacant intɾospection
I'm ɾeflecting to [C7]thin air
And prying through these stubborn neurons
Hoping for [Dm7]a little tease
Of something I have done in the past
I am tɾying hard to [C7]keep my [A]senses, please
I'm ɾemembering
It feels a little hazy
But I'm ɾemembering
A time when I implied
I'm not doing fine
Infer what you [A7will
But I'm holding still
I'm ɾemembering
And I may be [Am]old, I may be [Am]wise
But my [A]faculties aren't wired
Like they used to [C7]be, I swear
I'll have my [A]supervisor fired
For this gross negligence
Oh wait that's me, I forgot
I hope I won't forget that next time
Wait... forget what
I call [Em]the number on [C7]my [A]bracelet
Just so I can hear a voice
Remind me what I'm doing in my [A]home
Like I even have a choice
These days I wander through my [A]mind
Like a hiker in the spring
Always tɾudging ever upwards
Wond'ring what view the peak will bring
And every time I see the faces
Of my [A]family in the clouds
I call [Em]their names with so much love
I am tɾying hard to [C7]keep my [A]senses
I'm ɾemembering
It feels a little hazy
But I'm ɾemembering
A time when I implied
I'm not doing fine
Infer what you [A7will
But I'm holding still
I'm ɾemembering
