lyrics

I hadn't raised my voice in years and had forgotten how to wrap my mouth around the words to try and spit them out. Now every second, every sentence just comes spilling out on to the floor in to a pool of "I remember now."

I will be replaced
by anything or anyone
I can't keep this straight
the words I keep forgetting now
How hard must I fight
to feel the night life
where on the inside
I have stopped trying?

We can't replace the time we spent on hope and settling, where every word was analyzed and pulled apart within. I don't recall the sunset, I don't recall assembling, no: you won't remember my name.

It takes too long this forever; recall, recollect altogether: you won't remember my name.

I know this light's temporary, how it frames your face I'm regretting. I won't remember your name.

I will be replaced
by anything or anyone
I can't keep this straight
the words I keep forgetting now
How hard must I fight
to feel the night life
where on the inside
I have stopped trying?

No one will remember me at all.
