Traces

Daylight can never really hide what's alive

I know it's hard sometimes

For you to tell where you end

And where the world begins

You do your best to avoid assimilation

Guess that's the best you can do

And though the parts of it that matter change

All traces disintegrate

At night

My mind's exhausted and

Drained out of thought

And can't get back up

And when you know

How few things there are worth knowing

I suppose anyone who tries could forget

Responding now

To trains that crash before you

Never thought crashing could happen to you

And though the parts of it that matter change

All traces disintegrate
