The sun is high and I’m surrounded by sand.
For as far as my eyes can see
I’m strapped into a rocking chair
With a blanket over my knees
I am a stranger to myself
And nobody knows I’m here
When I looked into my face
It wasn’t myself I’d seen
But who I’ve tried to be.
I’m thinking of things I’d hoped to forget.
I’m choking to death in a sun that never sets.

And turned all my friends into enemies
And now that past has returned to haunt me.

AND I’M CAVING IN UPON MYSELF

WHEN I DON’T EVEN KNOW MYSELF — José Ángel Mañas

I just keep doing it. I keep taking adva — Don McLean
