Time Forgot

Skirmish: Secret Lives of Other Bei... (@robinleaf)Liner Notes
As a neurodivergent person, and someone who wrestles with C-PTSD from religious trauma, I struggle with the concept of existence. So when I read the prompt, I immediately felt like sometimes my existence is a secret I don't know. I started thinking about how I also tend to personify inanimate objects, especially ones I find special in various ways. So this song measures the mystery of my existence and struggle to understand it, by describing objects currently dear to me.
Music coming.

Lyrics
What is being?
What is not?
Can you be what time forgot?
Fossil resting on my chest
Floating up with every breath
Anchors me to what is left
What is being?
What is not?
Can you be what time forgot?
Pencil grasped within my hand
Scratching paper's snowy lands
Reconnects what's unsuspected
What is being?
What is not?
Can you be what time forgot?
Ukulele in my arms
Matching every vocal charm
Tamber, sweeter than a lark
What is being?
What is not?
Can you be what time forgot?
Sun above and earth below
You know more than I can know
Do you still know me?
