lyrics

We used to go to the zoo
To take pictures of the birds and the cats

The aquarium
We came home to a power outage
The parrot fish were all on their backs

I feel like I'm losing touch again
Even the vibration of the guitar
Is too much like having a panic attack

I can feel the strings
Through my arm and into my
Chest. I feel like I can't catch my breath

That was the hottest summer
The air conditioner was broken
I'd get out of bed to squat in front of the fan

You're lifting your arms to take a picture of something at The Minister's Treehouse
I'm trying to remember the last thing you said

It's impossible to focus on anything
It's like my mind leaves me for my body
A twitch in my leg, a visual disturbance in my right eye

I keep checking the time
Over and
Over and
Over

I'm ready for it to be tomorrow already
