Remember to Forget

wastedLeave a comment

Stapled shut, inside an outside world and I’m
Sealed in tight, bizarre but right at home
Claustrophobic, closing in and I’m
Catastrophic, not again

I’m smeared across the page, and doused in gasoline
I wear you like a stain, yet I’m the one who’s obscene
Catch me upon all your sordid little insurrections
I’ve got no time to lose, and I’m just caught up in all the cattle

I am a world before I am a man
I was a creature before I could stand
I will remember before I forget
Before I forget that

I’m ripped across the ditch, and settled in the dirt and I’m
I wear you like a stitch, yet I’m the one who’s hurt
Pay attention to your twisted little indiscretions
I’ve got no right to win, I’m just caught up all the battles

I am a world before I am a man
I was a creature before I could stand
I will remember before I forget
Before I forget that

My end
It justifies my means
All I have to do is delay
I’m given time to evade
The end of the road is my end
It justifies my means
All I have to do is delay
I haven’t time to evade
The end of the road!

Forget to Remember

What have I done?
Where have I come from?
When I burnt the backs with the sun through a glass
Did I seal the loss that’s become me?
Feeling undone, what have I become?
When I turned my back on you
I turned my back on myself and became this machine

I feel it on the inside
Twisting and contorting
Memory has shaped me once again
Still feel you on the inside
Biting through and stinging
Will I ever forget to remember?

Shadows in the sun
Filter through us
Still wrestle the demons that arrested me as a child
Confession rejected
We grow up to give up
People step on the cracks for wounds owed
Paid back through the words of surrender

I feel it on the inside
Twisting and contorting
Memory has shaped me once again
Still feel you on the inside
Biting through and stinging
Will I ever forget to remember?

Getting Away with Murder

Somewhere beyond happiness and sadness
I need to calculate what creates my own madness
And I’m addicted to your punishment
And you’re the master
And I am waiting for disaster

I feel irrational
So confrontational
To tell the truth I am
Getting away with murder
It isn’t possible
To never tell the truth
But the reality is I’m getting away with murder

I drink my drink and I don’t even want to
I think my thoughts when I don’t even need to
I never look back ’cause I don’t even want to
And I don’t need to
Because I’m getting away with murder

I feel irrational
So confrontational
To tell the truth I am
Getting away with murder
It isn’t possible
To never tell the truth
But the reality is I’m getting away with murder
