Hey, i forgot
Tripping into traffic,
Hypnotized by the northern lights
Dead end block
Static on the ceiling
I got sucked in
Hey, present tense
Slipping on the silence
Like a cloak made of rainy nights
Common sense
Barking out the order i got sucked in
I don’t know what i’m doing
The uncertainty is looming
Every heart rents a lonely room
This fever is forever
I’m not ready when they sever
You from me, it will be too soon
Hey, i forgot
Damage to the daughters
And the sons who will never learn
If i get caught
Promise me you’ll run
And you won’t stop
Hey, digging in
Cut me so i’ll feel
Like there’s a chance that i won’t return
Digging in
Hold me here forever
Please don’t stop
I don’t know what i’m doing
The uncertainty is looming
Every heart rents a lonely room
This fever is forever
I’m not ready when they sever
You from me, it will be too soon
The shock slips in
The ship sails on
I curse myself and everyone
You will leave no name
You will leave no trace
Just a question mark
And an empty space
Yeah, i forgot
Hold me here forever and don’t stop
Yeah, digging in
Tangle with yourself and you can’t win
Yeah, i forgot
Hold me here forever and don’t stop
Yeah, digging in
Tangle with yourself and you won’t win
