Forgetting who you are is a real drag Not least of all cause you're not anyone It's hard to be nobody when you clearly have a body But don't ask me for advice on the situation Total recall You lost it all Poised atop the wall You took the fall You took nothing from me Yet I still feel empty Like there's nowhere to begin And I know you're listening There's no need to be afraid But I'm terrified again This well's been dry for quite some time They say loss of identity makes reason hard to find Well, it's been ages since I lost myself But I haven't lost my mind Still, I have to try to bottle up my spite Cause if this one last shred of me goes down I'll never see the light Maybe if I traveled somewhere distant I could start over again Find a place to settle down But then I'd have to fabricate a personality Not really me, which isn't any fun So I'll just linger and discover who I am for myself My selfish impulses are taking over Now I'm comfortable with lacking an identity Is what I'm doing wrong? I don't know And I don't care at this point cause it's too late now I've passed the point of no return You gave nothing to me But I no longer feel empty I think I know where to begin And I know you're listening There's no need to be afraid Can't you tell that from my grin? Forgetting who you are is a real drug Not least of all cause you aren't anyone It's great to be nobody when you need to hide a body And your concience won't ever know what hit it

Locked the door and closed the curtains Prayed it wouldn't find you in your hidden place Your hideaway Curled up, you sensed a presence reaching toward you The risk of discovery hovering over your refuge Would you ever feel security again, if it were ever-present? You're alone for now Or so you thought What are you frightened of? Is it really all that bad? Or are you just afraid that you are all you have? Your expression, pained and distant Memories revert to when you were enslaved to your own hate Your eyes are focused on your old secluded little alcove in the corner We fought a war there Tides of adversaries closing in You thought the cause was lost until an unexpected ally Brought the cycle back to the ebb A smile brought back to your eyes, you look at me And I swear that no matter what assails you I won't leave your side
