around the sun

i awoke in the cleanest

bedsheets on earth

in the dreaded morning

the air felt like a curse

behind the counter with the drawer

we organize the bills

in the early of the morning

took the car for a fill

what's the date?

i can't remember

it all just blends together

spinning around the sun

until we burn up

in the lines between traffic

familiar and clean

in the hands of the headrest

i nearly fell asleep

constant push of conditioned air

dries my face and skin

i got distracted just chewing on my pen

i took the ink all in

what's the date?

i can't remember

it all just blends together

spinning around the sun

until we burn up

what's the date?

i can't remember

it all just blends together

spinning around the sun

until we burn up

you wouldn't survive

without dependence on something

drinks or big cigars

drugs

prescribed or self-served

you wouldn't survive

without a way to pass the time

clothes or antique cars

songs once heard then forgot

what's the date?

i can't remember

it all just blends together

spinning around the sun

until we burn up

what's the date?

i can't remember

it all just blends together

spinning around the sun

until we burn up
