Lapse

The road turned into a snake
and looked in my veins and said
it's in your blood
thats when i tried to run
but it was way too dark
i got scared and ran into your armsoh sweet chemical predicament
i 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
it slipped from her fingers when i slid into my dreamsit's not as deep as it seems
and unfair as it may be
i'm just here to remind you
remind you not to forget to remember mei 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
i got scared and ran away from you
oh sweet divine predicament
i can't hide i can't change the evidentwe disposed the trusted 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 steps
and you smiled at him cause you thought he looked like meit's not as deep as it seems
and unfair as it may be
i'm just here to remind you
remind you not to forget to remember menow i've dodged your 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
sweet chemical indifference
i can't stop, can't change the evidentpredisposed to perpetual sickness
i refuse to let you all be witness
make sure the needle is clean when you let me go back to sleep
and situate the piece of her picture underneath my fingers
it protects me in my dreamsit's not as deep as it seems
and unfair as it may be
i'm just here to remind you
remind you not to forget to remember me
