Swim to the Island, to find my brother. He's lost, and I wish I could rewind. My VCR won't replay my memories, or my dreams; and they always seem to fade.
Put my life inside the VCR, press play while sitting on the floor. Must have written over the the tape, this VHS isn't the same. Fast-foreword to the very end, is the last bit still there? (I'll pretend) Auto-rewind kicks in as it fades, blue light flickers on my face.
Burnt on the screen, just one frame from the scene where I- Shut my eyes, I don't want see.
The truth is I'm afraid, to see my life replayed. So I taped over all of it.
Put my life inside the VCR, press play while sitting on the floor. Must have written over the the tape, this VHS isn't the same. Fast-foreword to the very end, is the last bit still there? (I'll pretend) Auto-rewind kicks in as it fades, blue light flickers on my face.
