helps me forget...

(album: fade into the dawn - 2019)

It helps me forget for a moment
To kneel down and drink from the lake
It helps me forget for an instant
To build a fire and swallow the flame
It makes me believe for an evening
That the child inside of me
Remembers its name
I wake up a mess in the morning
I swear I'll pay whatever it costs
To forget it all again

Help me get back to that place
Where I can be something else
A bird song on the breeze
When the day dream was far away
How did I get here?
How did I get here?
And how in the hell am I going to escape?

It helps me forget for a second
To lay down and cover my face
Or prance around the house dancing naked
Listening to all the old songs we used to play
It makes me convinced I'm just changing
That some day soon I'm gonna wake up
Strong, bold, and brave
But I can't help but feel I'm just broken

Help me get back to that place
Where I can be something else
A bird song on the breeze
When the day dream was far away
How did I get here?
How did I get here?
And how in the hell am I going to escape?

Help me get back to that place
Where I can be something else
