Well I’m far too old for this world and too young for the next
Am I inconsequential?
And I’m scrolling through the mire
Walls of screaming text
Am I merely incidental
The world has made me suffer till I’m shutting down
Implied, she was elemental
I’ve no water left to drain out and no fucks to give
The drugs, experimental
Forgive
Forget
I forget what I’m supposed to
Forgive
Forget
I forget what I’m supposed to forgive
Forget what I’m supposed to forgive
Well I’m holding down the pedal and the needle’s rising up
It’s incremental
I’m feeling no expression and the dust is blowing up
And I’m fundamental
The shatter of the windscreen as we separate in time
It’s sacramental
As I’m lying in the wreckage of my former life and I
Am elemental
Forgive
Forget
I forget what I’m supposed to
Forgive
Forget
I forget what I’m supposed to forgive
Forget what I’m supposed to forgive
Forget what I’m supposed to forgive
Forget what I’m supposed to forgive
You raise your head
For one last look
For one last breath
It steals in…
Her voice in your head
Her will in your bones
You cannot go out like this
My love, my heart,
You cannot go out like this
My love, my heart
You cannot go out like this…
