about

This one's basically a jumbled mess of different sections precariously stacked on top of one another. The lyrics were written first, then the song was outlined and detailed. It's the opposite of the usual writing method we use.

lyrics

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
