Lapse - Envy on the Coast

The road turned into a snake
It looked in my veins and said "It's in your blood"
That's when
I tried to run
But it was way to dark
Got scared, and ran into your arms
Oh sweet chemical predicament
Can't stop, can't change the evident
Predisposed to forget the best part
A story where the hero dies without regard
Made sure that the needle was clean
When I let myself fall asleep
And all I kept was a piece of your picture
Slipped through my fingers when
I slid into my dreams
It's not as deep as it seems
And as unfair as it may be
I'm just here to remind you
Remind you not to forget to remember me
I know you know how it feels to make a clean break
My bones are your bones
My home is your home
You must be, so confused
Got scared and ran away from you
Oh sweet divine predicament
Can't hide
I can't change the evident
I'm predisposed to trust a photograph
To portray the way you used to laugh
Do you recall the day you wed?
Such a radiant bride, you couldn't wait to see
Your first born take his very first step
And you smiled at him, 'cause you thought he looked like
Me, it's not as deep as it seems
And as unfair as it may be
I'm just here to remind you
Remind you not to forget to remember me
Now I've died you question so much
I don't possess the strength
To answer straight
And no, I'm not afraid, at least not to die
I'm afraid to live and not remember why
Oh Sweet chemical indifference,
I can't stop
Can't change the evident
Predisposed to perpetual sickness
I refuse to let you all be witness
Make sure that the needle is clean when
You let me go back to sleep
And situate the piece of the picture
Underneath my fingers it protects me in my dreams
It's not as deep as it seems
And as unfair as it may be
I'm just here to remind you
Remind you not to forget to remember me
