Slowblink Lyrics

I've been hoarding my mementos

At an ever growing speed

But it's getting hard to eek past towers

Of all the grocery store receipts

And I swear that it's important

Cataloging every day

But I still can't find the lyrics that

Displayed when you were away

Sometimes

I wish that lightning would come down

And smite my backup drives and USBs

And zap them back into bricks

Sometimes

I hope the the sprinklers would turn on

And bleed the ink until everything is

Impossible to recover

You can spend your life

In the blink of an eye

If you don't look close

But don't let it by

We could still save time

If we just blink slow

I've been tracing every second

Every record I can keep

I bought a pen designed for outer space

So I can journal in my sleep

Because I swear one day we'll look back

To reminisce this golden age

And I'll write for you the lyrics

You can etch into my grave

Sometimes

I wish that I never learned to read

And our ancestors never left their trees

Or crawled out of the water

Sometimes

I plead the memories to relax

Then jam them so far back 'till they're

Impossible to recover

You can spend your life

In the blink of an eye

If you don't look close

But don't let it by

We could still save time

If we just blink slow
