Lapse

The road turned into a snake

It looked in my veins and said "It's in your blood"

That's when

I tried to run

But it was way to dark

Got scared, and ran into your arms

Oh sweet chemical predicament

Can't stop, can't change the evident

Predisposed to forget the best part

A story where the hero dies without regard

Made sure that the needle was clean

When I let myself fall asleep

And all I kept was a piece of your picture

Slipped through my fingers when

I slid into my dreams

It's not as deep as it seems

And as unfair as it may be

I'm just here to remind you

Remind you not to forget to remember me

I know you know how it feels to make a clean break

My bones are your bones

My home is your home

You must be, so confused

Got scared and ran away from you

Oh sweet divine predicament

Can't hide

I can't change the evident

I'm predisposed to trust a photograph

To portray the way you used to laugh

Do you recall the day you wed?

Such a radiant bride, you couldn't wait to see

Your first born take his very first step

And you smiled at him, 'cause you thought he looked like

Me, it's not as deep as it seems

And as unfair as it may be

I'm just here to remind you

Remind you not to forget to remember me

Now I've died you question so much

I don't possess the strength

To answer straight

And no, I'm not afraid, at least not to die

I'm afraid to live and not remember why

Oh Sweet chemical indifference,

I can't stop

Can't change the evident

Predisposed to perpetual sickness

I refuse to let you all be witness

Make sure that the needle is clean when

You let me go back to sleep

And situate the piece of the picture

Underneath my fingers it protects me in my dreams

It's not as deep as it seems

And as unfair as it may be

I'm just here to remind you

Remind you not to forget to remember me
