lyrics

There was a time before us a hedonistic spree
Doing as we desired Thinking it came for free
Some people got the short end I don’t know who they were
The pictures are all washed out The names and faces blurred

And I’m not quite sure what it would mean to ask forgiveness now
‘Cause it wasn’t me who shoved you off and sent you tumbling down

I am not the same person My brain has been replaced
The new me can’t remember What it meant to see your face

I never meant to hurt you I guess I didn’t help
But what debt can be paid to the fate of someone else
So give away your body to those who set you free
Shed your skin and let your sins be washed into the sea

And if you cut up my mind and scattered the pieces into space
As they gradually vaporized, when would I be erased?

I am not the same person My brain has been replaced
The new me can’t remember What it meant to see your face
I am not the same person My body’s been effaced
And now I can’t conceive of what it meant to love or hate
