Not a Song (Live @ The Hellmouth 2021)

from we've been the garages by the garages

"(whew! ...this one is *not* a song.)

i wake up
bright light
disorientation
what's my nature?
this body feels imperfect
what's my name
what's the day
my phone's full of photos of an unfamiliar face
am i going to stay as me?
the lies they say about how i'm to blame-
wish you were here, my dear
for me to taste your fear
now that it's finally clear
that i belong to myself

this was not a song
if it sounds like a song you're wrong
because this was not a song
so move and run along"
