Weeds & Roses (made March 8th, 2014, around 9 PM, listening to Vampire Weekend’s album “Contra”)

I’m remember this time

And think about how I remembered it

And how I’ll remember the time ahead of me

How much time is ahead of me?

Images replay in my head so vividly

I like to set them on shuffle

My head doesn’t sometimes, though

So it plays a bad memory it won’t let me skip over

For days

And days

And days

Until I wonder if that bad memory is all that my mind will say

CHORUS

Weeds & roses,

Tangled together in my head,

Unholy but wed

Weeds & roses,

Tangled together in my head,

For my trembling hands to untangle,

“Your past does not define you,” they said.

There’s this movie playing right in front of my eyes,

And I can feel it on my skin,

The projector’s right behind my heart,

And I can feel its light burning

through parts,

And parts,

And parts,

Until I can’t feel anything about the image I see.

CHORUS

Weeds & roses,

Tangled together in my head,

Unholy but wed

Weeds & roses,

Tangled together in my head,

For my trembling hands to untangle,

“Your past does not define you,” they said.
