it never fails to slip my mind,
I always lose my train of thought,
wish I could remember she said keep it in a memory box,
raking over the ashes,
and they're just ashes to me,
I'll watch them blow away into the breeze,
why can't I remember just what happened to me?,
did I miss my turn? did I fall asleep?,
resting under the ashes,
and they're still ashes to me,
I'll watch them float away into the sea,
Well my heartbeat's not too loud,
cause I can't hear the sound,
I am barely breathing,
when I remember,
what she said not to forget,
keep it in a box, not inside your head,
the temperature drops, dimming the lights,
no time for a down memory of the night,
some things too real to come out and say,
I forget too soon and they slip away,
those things I choose to say I pretend,
that they are what make me who I am,
but that's not who I am,
I lie to myself and I lie to my friends
remember not,
memory box (keep it in a memory box)
it never fails to slip my mind,
I always lose my train of thought,
wish I could remember she said keep it in a memory box,
raking over the ashes,
and they're still ashes to me,
I'll watch them float away into the sea.
