Lyrics Erasure - Swordplay

Erasure

I spend time with time spinning around me
And only recently have I come to see
Where you are treading water
The panic is so real to the point you cannot breathe
You are drowning quick
Your hands are tied
They’re out of my reach
Back home
You listened and learned
You were always older than your age
You poor precocious thing
Unhappy traveler, agitated and estranged
Tell me, what would ya blame, and is your mind okay?
It’s time to remove that pain so you do not remember
Do not remember.
Do not remember.
Do not remember
Every time I think of you on that day
I bow my head.
I begin to pray
I hope that you’re not watching now
Somehow, it all went wrong
I’m sorry to say
You would not remember
But when it happened, it happened to us all
And when comes time to transfer states say what you will
But your eyes are tired, your heart is flooding, your body’s still
Will you be waking up along a distant landscape and in a place you might stay?
Well then, drift away.
Drift away.
Just drift away
I’ll remember you by the look on the face that you made on the day that you
said farewell
Where you’re trapped inside your head
And do not remember that hell
Or those cops
That came in your apartment five days late
Does that not ring a bell?
You got your ticket and checked out quick
I bet you talked some shit to the Lord before you fell
I have no secrets
Give me yours to tell
Are you waiting on annihilation
And getting impatient cause it’s not going well?
