Forget

I live within these blinders, constant reminders

to focus on myself, the hope is that it helps

To force somebody else to take that first step

and be a torch, my guiding light ain't been used yet

it's like, I'm more content to keep this world turning

than to stop for a second and address that there is hurting

I'd rather attack someone that's not

because there's jealousy within me for these crabs in the pot

The passionate flock follow the leader

'til you crash through a stock

your bag's being watched

but that's okay, you keep looking ahead

when living for the day's been made officially dead

We'll administer the blame, get you fitted for the chains

Spend a minute, minuscule amount of time for the grains

of sand that pass through the glass, leaving us forgetful

it's easy not to think of other people

(Ethic first time/Sapient second time):

(The past) Forget it, nothing is permanent

(We ask) Forgiveness, overlook earning it

(Attack) the innocent, embrace death

when you're living in the future, it's easy to forget

Electronic screens will teach him spatial intelligence

but the negative elements, some feel compelled to skip

not forced to think, mind blank, face the television

games don't portray that tanks make the skeletons

In real life the little child doesn't realise

what a bullet hit in your skin could feel like

he kills time, if he gets shot in the game he'll come back

but if he gets shot in the face then he'll die

Might as well buy him a toy machine gun

so he can dream of fatigues and blowing things up

we must remember what brings us to the end

is over-pleasing of the flesh and the people we neglect

It's easy to forget what we go to work for

it's easy to forget to put your best foot forward

They outsource the work force, beat the workhorse dead

misled by the dreams that we work towards

You can find 'em on the corner, slinging

we forgot we gave our students second-class education

Separate the ignorance, what we're all forgetting

is at one time everyone's bloodline was immigrant

We won't forget the day that they hijacked the airplanes

forgot it was in striking distance of Virginia airbase

to paraphrase, we shoulda shot 'em down, but didn't

we at war with ourselves, don't forget it

Forget it, nothing is permanent

Forgiveness, overlook earning it

The innocent embrace death

when you're living in the future it's easy to forget

I stole this rhythm from the fucking sky

laying down on broken concrete

and let the rain hit my open eyes

Third time's a charm

if you're open wide, rotate the dial

'til you locate the broken vial

New-school Unabomber, do not touch signs

living in the land full of too-long bus rides

How could you expect us not to bust nine

when guns can cost less than rent and last a month's time

Running past the fence, I must've bumped mine

you're flagged down [...]

Trapped in traffic, punch the warp drive

and once the brakes work, urge the van to the side of the dirt

It's not like getting mad when you stain a white shirt

and nobody wanna die, we afraid it might hurt

it's time to turn tides and every day is like work

sitting too close to lights and you might get burnt

Forget it, nothing is permanent

Forgiveness, overlook earning it

The innocent embrace death

when you're living in the future it's easy to forget
