If most people will not remember my life as I do
then they cannot experience me like I'd like them to
I pitch to them my memories as photo albums
still frames of SILHOUETTES of friends and sketched houses
these pixels are worth more words than I could ever tell you
abandoned buildings and smoking leaves in bathtubs
my friends and I are astral projecting again much like I am to you right now
through mountains, crossroads, hills, rivers, burning city stores
past places I've been to and the homes I've lived in before
there are people I've never met living in my head of whom I have had a million
conversations with or maybe I thought I might but haven't since back then and yet
when I tune into the radio waves of you I forget who I am
melt it down already and stop remembering everything
in such vivid color like it happened to us yesterday
even though you don't know me I desperately want you to
see the world through me and feel the love like I do
a little alien came to witness this life and will return to Gaia one day
the bugs bite in the meantime but you will have yourself always
I look at you between the line and phrase little alien with phenomenal spirit
don’t let that light ... within you ... diminish
