I'm Not There

from Timelines by Mothboxer

lyrics

Now I know how everybody feels,
When I’m not there
Early morning, not too long ago,
I’m not there
Save me from the world,
Take me to a place in time

All that I know and all I see
Stopped making sense
A while back for me, so I
Looked at the time, looked at the screen
Took three steps backwards and
Started to scream and then
Voices came over the radio,
At least that’s where I thought they were coming from so
I decided to run, decided to hide
From everything happening on the inside

How can we learn from anything if we don’t let the world
Dictate how it spins every
Day is the same, don’t make it burn
All we can do is wait for our turn
Go down slowly, I can’t speak but I can try
All gone, withdrawn. We’re all shouting at the sky
Let me know what you know
Couldn’t go, what a show
All the things I thought I knew about myself
Were all the things I couldn’t see, and it’s
Back in time, it’s sublime
Terrified of the time
I can hear the seconds passing all night long
