It’s not as if

It’s not as if I've never been here before
 
It's right there in that chair that you realize tears are imminent
 
Tormented by the repetition of circumstance
 
Assuming that the Ferris wheel is intrinsic and archaic
 
Are you that addicted to circumference, that you deny yourself the true volume of life
 
My choice to abstain from carnal pleasures is only temporary
 
Don't allow your temporal lobe to convince you otherwise
 
Otherwise you will miss the significance of such a sacrifice
 
Surely it's common to be commonly known amongst your admirers of sorts
 
But to be common is synonymous with being forgotten or lost
 
Allow me to remember you
