Episodes

It's all so loud
All so bright
And when it begins
I know I won't remember
What happens on this night

The first problem sets it
Everyone sounds like they
Are shouting
Like it's a rock concert
My ears betray me first

Then the world shines
Like I have never seen it before
Like this is my last night

Before long I start forgetting
What people say
What they are doing
What I'm supposed to be doing

52356335. 52356335. 52356335.
Don't forget. Don't forget.
Stay. Stay. Stay.
It's all fading away.

I don't know what's going on
Who are these people
Telling me to go lay down?

Who are these people
Telling me it will be alright?

I can't remember
I can't think
All I can do
Is power through
These episodes
And in the morning
It will be alright

In the morning
I pretend it never happened
And they do too

But for now
I will repeat my numbers
To myself
Until I can't remember what numbers
Are

52356335. 52356335. 52356335.
Don't forget. Don't forget.
Stay. Stay. Stay.
It's all fading away.
