helps me forget... - Field Medic

It helps me forget for a moment

To kneel down and drink from the lake

It helps me forget for an instant

To build a fire and swallow the flame

It makes me believe for an evening

That the child inside of me

Remembers its name

I wake up a mess in the morning

I swear I’ll pay whatever it costs

To forget it all again

Help me get back to that place

Where I can be something else

A bird song on the breeze

When the day dream was far away

How did I get here?

How did I get here?

And how in the hell am I going to escape?

It helps me forget for a second

To lay down and cover my face

Or prance around the house dancing naked

Listening to all the old songs we used to play

It makes me convinced I’m just changing

That some day soon I’m gonna wake up

Strong, bold, and brave

But I can’t help but feel I’m just broken

Help me get back to that place

Where I can be something else

A bird song on the breeze

When the day dream was far away

How did I get here?

How did I get here?

And how in the hell am I going to escape?

Help me get back to that place

Where I can be something else
