Repeater Jelani Blackman

You said you knew me before
Don’t let the moonlight deceive you
I’m leaving cracks in the door
With only shadows to see through

Theres no way this illusion could maintain
I would follow the tracks in your mind
And each one that I’d stroll down would relapse
Into cycular paths over time

I’m so sure that this feeling will keep on
Many eager to seek a rewind
But my next thing will still be my history
And that too I’ll soon leave behind

I sense years passing by in a heartbeat
Can’t work out the dusk from the dawn
Unwavering pull of the repeat
Then my shadow to keep when I’m gone
My world is arrays of the faces
I will hold onto yours while I can
But we’re moving at alternate paces
I’ll be damned if I stick to the plan

You said you knew me before
Don’t let the moonlight deceive you
I’m leaving cracks in the door
With only shadows to reach through
