Denied anodyne again   I ask myself the question   Why won’t the lights fall?   Why won’t the darkness come for me?      Reliving the day in my head   Starlight seems to scorch my skin   Cabin fever from my bed   As I burn the candle, at both ends      I’m opening wounds that healed long ago   I reignite hatred that had been resolved      I want to forget   My memories   I want to forget   Set my mind free   Wipe the slate clean   Of my memories
