Hard Drive

I've noticed I look at pictures
Backwards through a telescope
Where all the detail looks so small

I've noticed when thinking backwards
I tend to second-guess myself
I see all the dumb stuff I ever did

I spent last night just cleaning out my hard drive
I'm backing up my memories to disk
I own a time machine twenty-five hundred pixels wide
It shows me things I recall like yesterday

I've realized when I see myself
From even just a month ago
I'm workin with the context I have now

So when the magnets sketch out
These pictures for posterity
It's me that sees them differently with time

I spent last night just backing up my hard drive
In case I spill my coffee on the keys
Of course even then there's the matter of bit decay
No matter what I do it's gonna fade away
