Forget - The Chain Gang of 1974, Alisa Xayalith

You did a dance in the moonlight

My smile lit by the fireflies

Once again, my face is feeling cold

The memory of the headlights

Shimmering your floral design

I guess I’m just a stupid boy

Oh, the winter skies

Provide the cinematic view I try to hide

I want to heal tonight

Why do I keep forgetting to forget you?

I’m in your blood stream, you can’t desert me

I need to know what to do just to get through

We can’t be lonely, these beds are burning

Sitting high on a street light

We were young, we would hold tight

After time, I knew you weren’t mine

Seven years that have gone by

I’m still alone with nothing but time

I am so tired from seeing you

All the whispers keep the light away

From growing up and what is mine

I want to heal tonight, tonight

Why do I keep forgetting to forget you?

I’m in your blood stream, you can’t desert me

I need to know what to do just to get through

We can’t be lonely, these beds are burning

Why do I keep forgetting to forget you?

I’m in your blood stream, you can’t desert me

Why do I keep forgetting?

Here at the end of the start of my hopelessness

I spin in the dark

Calm down, no control

As it departs on the wings of a love like this

My fear, the chemicals

Cut ties, crawl inside

Why do I keep forgetting to forget you?

Why do I keep forgetting?

Why do I keep forgetting to forget you?

Why do I keep forgetting?
