i forget about where it all began

bastard son of a bastard son of

a wild eyed child of the sun

and right as rain, i'm not the same but

i feel the same, i feel nothing

holding back the fool again

holding back the fool pretends

i forget to forget nothing is important

holding back the fool again

i sensed my loss

before i even learned to talk

and i remember my birthdays

empty party afternoons won't come back

holding back the fool again

holding back the fool pretends

i forget to forget nothing is important

holding back the fool again

i forget to forget me

i forget to forget you see

nothing is important to me

i knew my loss

before i even learned to speak

and all along, i knew it was wrong

but i played along, with my birthday song

holding back the fool again

holding back the fool pretends

i forget to forget nothing is important

holding back the fool again
