my emotional recorder
goes deeper than memory ever will
it has drank the poison
all while taking deaths pill
my emotional recorder
etched notes in the seeds then planted the tree
that would later become
what i now call - me
my emotional recorder
sweeps it's own streets
checking for new shadows
new echoes - new beats
my emotional recorder
plays for it's own keep
searches for the peace
in love -- to sleep
my emotional recorder
wants to erase all
just wants to be clear and free to answer
when true love calls
