-Lyrics-

-Intro-

Chorus: If I could just remember the words I said
I would be alright
If I could just remember the words I said tonight
Then my intentions never would be misread
We wouldn’t have to fight
If I could just remember the words, my love…

Verse 1: But abstract eruptions 
of emotions manifest and congest
my inner vision when I try to recollect.
And my breath is getting heavy, 
I bereave the hidden phrases that just
can’t seem to make their way into the forefront
of my blunt mind. I’m running out of time.
I’ve gotta find my way back
to a linguistic type of tongue that’s in tact.
And in fact, if I’m not on track, 
My rhythmic dialect will disturb
our overture of love and words…

(Chorus)

Bridge: But they always leave me. Why?
Say that you believe me!

Verse 2: It’s like every single time I begin, it’s the end.
No more sentencing. I’m slowly losing touch with what’s within.
My meaning is slipping, I mean there’s no definition,
I’m falling into submission, I black out and fade in.
Now I’m closer to knowing the words I was going for 
then out of nowhere I’m stumbling and muttering
nonsense. Can’t seem to clear my subconscious 
mind, I sound obnoxious, the worst part about it is
you and I falling apart in the dark pit that stirs
all of my forgotten words…

(Chorus)

(Bridge)
