Lights are fading out around me
Time slows down around me
Counting down the minutes of the night
Seconds marked by panicked
breaths - fears I can't fight
Turn to hours till the sun might finally rise
To other eyes

But daylight's merciless to me
Nerves too frayed to feel a thing
Numbly following the script lines:
Enter classroom, center, stage right
Cast of one, as far as I'm concerned
In the class, no lessons to be learned
What's it matter anyway?
I can't remember 

I can't remember why I try
Can't remember any reason
Can't remember who I am
Or what I might have been feeling
Can't remember all my lines
Or the role that I've been playing
Please just pull the curtain closed 
Cause I dont think I'll be staying 

I just fall into the background 
As the music wraps me
Takes me to another better world
Colors aren't so faded there - and I won't fight 
And I'm not so jaded there - so far away
A long lost day 

But that's a day that's long since passed 
That will never be again
In a comic sort of prequel:
Exit childhood for the sequel 
Cast of one, as far as I can see
Growing is just loneliness to me
What's it matter anyway?
I can't remember

I can't remember why I try
Can't remember any reason
I remember who I was
But not what I should be feeling
Can't remember all my lines
Or the role that I've been playing
Please just pull the curtain closed 
Cause I dont think I'll be staying 

There was a time so long ago 
When the characters were playing 
When a smile was a smile
And I meant what I was saying 
Cast of one, one actor left behind
Abandoned in a tragedy unkind
Does she matter anyway?
I can't remember

I can't remember why I try
Can't remember any reason
Can't remember who I am
Or what I might have been feeling
Can't remember all my lines
Or the role that I've been playing
Please just pull the curtain closed 
Cause I dont think I'll be staying
