Lyrics
AMNESIA
music and lyrics by Joe Olivier
You sit there thinking of me with your intensity
Why don't you tell me, what do you think you see
You died once, twice, or three times again.
You sit in sordid time, yet think "am I insane?"
Remember times of comment and the games we played.
We loft there waiting thinking we had charade.
The night was over, leaves turned, and earth was still.
But then the unknowing came and made his kill.
The time is ticking.....the fire's burning...
Won't you come of that shell.....hell yah!
What you say is what you'll be.
When time comes up and slaps authority.
You wait there and tell yourself.
'can I be just like my one?" herself..
I don't want to moan over this anymore.
You're not who you think, you're my Kahlua
I see your eyes...eyes....eyes...and they?re the same.
Let me remind you. Later on I'll take full blame...
Find your true self before I cry again...
