What day is it anyhow?

That hammer!
Can I blame this on that damn hammer!
This throbbing pain inside my skull
I have been thinking, I have been trying
I am not seeing how it has been helpful
Maybe it's only been a couple of days
I'm not sure, what day is it anyhow?

Up and down... up and down... up and down
I don't even know which way faces out it seems
I wish I knew what was truly there
Bothering, bugging, spinning around
Why don't I know... I am afraid to push
But I am here, I swear I am here
Even when
Half in another land you slightly turn away

Yes dear, yes, my heart is breaking for you
Yes dear, yes, I can barely stand all that is going down
But did you hear me the other day? I know you did
I have awakened myself to knowing that even though
Things are as they are, what is now, is now
And I can be part of that, part of what keeps things sane
So please, Lord please, don't be wary of letting me in
Please, Lord please help me remember all that I know

If a word or a phrase needs to be in place
To bring me back to my list of what to remember
Then let there be such a thing in our vocabulary
We shall mutter it any time I begin to slip
Until my slips are nearly none
What I want to do is be available for you
For whatever it is you might possibly need
For whatever it is you might possibly want

That hammer!
Can I blame this on that damn hammer!
This throbbing pain inside my skull
I have been thinking, I have been trying
I am not seeing how it has been helpful
Maybe it's only been a couple of days
I'm not sure, what day is it anyhow?

... Seems it just needed one more day. ... It feels as though I managed not to slip. ... Let us watch and see, hoping that lasts. ...
