Cloudy Thoughts
If I could clear out the knowledge and rest in the ignorance
The bliss of not knowing, the joy of the innocence
For just a few minutes this burden diminishes
Maybe then I could sit down and finally finish this
And get out the visions which reign over moments
With a poison that’s spiteful and ever so potent
When I sit down and focus on things that don’t matter
And shatter the present with thoughts that won’t stammer
They’re fluent and perfect and so fucking descriptive
I attempt to be strong and just be so dismissive
But these never listen, they stand their position
And weigh on a mind that just screams for division
And I want an escape and a clean separation
Hell, saw it all of if it means preservation
This sea’s elevation, a flood of emotion
Leaves me looking around for the valve I should open
To drain it all out and to purge it forever
To cut it all off and leave it perfectly severed
To leave it behind and resume this contentment
And ignore long ago and let go of resentment
Cause I want to vent this, I want to forget this
I only want now, the here and this sentence
I want to take lessons and forget all the facts
And I want to know that we will never go back
And that we’ll stay on these tracks, so happy together
The people we were simply lost in the never
As in never again, no more darkness and pain
Just a guy and his girl, a clear sky with no rain
Notes: It’s about knowing the past, the times before the happiness, and wishing you could forget all of it and not know the facts.
