08. Blackout Season

[Verse 1 ] Streetlights blur. I can’t recall the ride. Another night passed, a corner of my mind. Weeks and months fade into years. I’m still tracking lost minutes through the tears. [Chorus] It’s blackout season. I’m losing days. Memories slip into a gray haze. I’m not broken, just paper-thin, trying to find the place I’ve been. [Verse 2] yeah—ohhh Photographs tilt. I don’t trust my eyes. Every smile looks borrowed in disguise. I wear the gaps like a second skin. The darker it gets, the more I give in. [Chorus] It’s blackout season. I’m losing days. Memories slip into a gray haze. I’m not broken, just paper-thin, trying to find the place I’ve been. [Bridge] [Raw, almost shouted entry:] ahhh—ohhh Time moves quiet, stealing the frame. Pieces fall off. I can’t name the names. Still I keep walking, even half-blind, picking up scraps of a wandering mind. [Final Chorus] It’s blackout season. I’m losing days. Memories slip into a gray haze. I’m not broken, just paper-thin, trying to find the place I’ve been. It’s blackout season, I’m still breathing in. ohhh—ahhh [soaring under last line]
