Jay Tower by John Plainsong Lyrics

Please don't help me remember
Don't give me more clues
I feel better off far from the memories
Miles from the facts and the news
But when I look in your eyes, I can just see a trace;
Like frost on a window a breath could erase
And if I open the door for you
What if it all rushes through?

I saw planes in an orange sky
I saw jungles in flames
I heard noises like lightning, like thunder
Like concrete falling like rain
So don't wake me from slumber
I'd rather forget
And I'd rather be empty than full of regret
But could you teach me to hold on
To just all the sweet things in life?

Some might say I'm a weak man
But they don't realize
That there's only so many things one man can see
'fore he just shuts his eyes
And you ask me to put all the pieces in place
But the puzzle belongs to the whole human race
And if we don't work to solve it
Then maybe we're all hypnotized
