Promise Not To Change

(album: An Anthropologist On Mars - 2021)

Can't shake the thought you'd erase me
Maybe the distance has helped me understand
Lessons in conflict avoidance

Well, I promise not to change too much
Dancing through the flames around me
Visions of my fate and such
I promise not to change

Can't keep the characters sorted
No more delusions we'll have to work it out
Sessions evolved and aborted

Well, I promise not to change too much
Choking as the flames surround me
Saddened by the lack of touch
I promise not to change

Well, I promise not to change too much
Pictures in the frames without me
Startled at the slightest touch
I promise not to change

I promise not to change
Throw each memory down the drain
Until nothing else remains
Yeah, I promise not to change you
