Loosen your grip on everything you found.
Don't keep time. It won't keep like wine.
(Let it) slow fade away
Your hands clamped down, knees burning on the ground. You bottle places, faces, and sounds. Suffocate the memory (by now).
Tried to save what we had aged. Drink the moment as it dripped away.
Loosen your grip on everything you found.
Both feet planted firmly down. No sleep to speak of in this town. So soak it in, we're leaving now--drink deeply mountain air somehow.
Needless to say, it died today.
