[Intro]
Faded memories slip through my fingers like sand
Hospital lights flicker, I don't understand
Where reality ends and the dreams begin
Lost in this haze, can't find my way back in
[Verse 1]
Ketamine dreams got me floating away
System shutdown on a cold Bristol day
Dad's getting worse while I'm losing my mind
Two generations of pain intertwined
Streets echo whispers of who I used to be
Childhood home's just a ghost haunting me
F*ck these demons that won't let me sleep
Too many pills, now I'm in too deep
[Chorus]
Machines beeping, keeping time with my heart
Watching life and death slowly drift apart
In this liminal space between here and gone
Where memories fade and the night's too long
Where memories fade and the night's too long
[Verse 2]
City lights blur through my window pane
Like the morphine dripping through my veins
Dad's old piano plays broken keys
In my head, distorted melodies
Everything's warped, nothing feels real
Time's just a concept I used to steal
Now I'm caught between wake and sleep
In this void that's growing deep
[Bridge]
They say the system's breaking down
Just like my body hit the ground
Everything's connected now
In this fever dream somehow
Can't tell if I'm alive or dead
These thoughts keep spinning in my head
[Chorus]
Machines beeping, keeping time with my heart
Watching life and death slowly drift apart
In this liminal space between here and gone
Where memories fade and the night's too long
Where memories fade and the night's too long
[Outro]
Fragments of me scattered on these streets
Bristol nights and ketamine defeats
But somehow I'm still breathing through it all
Even as the shadows start to fall
Even as the shadows start to fall
