undetachable

Make me undetachable
Let me love with no limits
Let me never forget
Let me smile wide
Let me stay mad
Let me stay sad
Make me undetachable

For so long I've been letting go
Leaving friends behind and forgetting them
Never taking a second look
I'm tired of being strong
Quiet, sad looks out the window
Staring into the past of long forgots
Memories coming through hard
Like they've been locked away
Starving for a feeling
Grasping for tears
That are somehow there after all these years

Fears that only come in dreams
Keep me up all night
Suppressed thoughts
I hit bedrock digging through my mind
Fossils of hopes and dreams
Lead me in streams to whirlpools of dangerous fun had when I was young
Summers and winters spent outside
As much trouble as possible
Everything and anything
Still felt in my bones
All lost to my brain

Nothing can bring back the past
Nothing can slow the future
All I got is my timeline
and I can't remember

Love the strong emotional imagery you've penned. Great lyrics.

i just posted a revision of this song in the writers room. it kinda makes it easier to read i think

‘The perfect man employs his mind as a mirror; it grasps nothing; it refuses nothing; it receives, but does not keep.’  ~ Chung-Tzu,

Lots of melancholy reflection here.  I know what you mean.  It seems we plunge headlong into the future, leaving everything and everybody behind. 

Thoughts that escape most people.  Not out of thought or luck, but out of desperation.
And you have capured it all.
Well done
