To Forgive

                                          ten times removed
                                      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
