To Forgive

Ten times removed

I forget about where it all began

Bastard son of a bastard son of

A wild eyed child of the sun

And right as rain, I'm not the same but

I feel the same, I feel nothing



Holding back the fool again

Holding back, the fool pretends

I forget to forget nothing is important

Holding back the fool again



I sensed my loss

Before I even learned to talk

And I remember my birthdays

Empty party afternoons won't come back



Holding back the fool again

Holding back the fool pretends

I forget to forget nothing is important

Holding back the fool again

I forget to forget me

I forget to forget you see

Nothing is important to me



I knew my loss

Before I even learned to speak

And all along, I knew it was wrong

But I played along, with my birthday song



Holding back the fool again

Holding back the fool pretends

I forget to forget nothing is important

Holding back the fool again
