Slow Down
Every minute passing faster
So fast I'm forgetting my own name
Did I really just do that?
Forgetting my own name.
Was I really just walking?
It felt like I was sprinting
Trying to catch the time
Running through my fingers
Another second has passed
I forget what I did last
My head is spinning
The floor is spinning
Everything. Just. Stop.
I forget how to count
The numbers rolling by
Faceless people
Begging, come back
How could I let it slip away from me?
I can't trust my own brain
I try to hold it together
With clawed fingers
Not enough, I'm falling
Second, tick, flashback, repeat
Second, tock, flashback, repeat
Second, tick, flashback, repeat
Second, tock, flashback, repeat
I'm living in the past
The future around the corner
Present nonexistent
I. Forget. My. Name.
