Hot Tub Time Machine

How far would you go
To spend one more day with her ghost

Wearing those thrift store clothes?

How long would you last

Up to your neck in all this past

Rotting in the undergrowth?

How long will you hold

The stitches that healed so long ago

So scared that you'll need them again?

 

How far would you go

To keep on feeding the devil you know

Waiting for the bitter end

Follow me, empathy
Did I learn anything?

Swallow me, entropy

It's just another day
Through the trees, the canopy
The light won’t reach everything
I'll always be in between
Or maybe it just feels that way
