lyrics

Elegance to Forgetting

Another corner cafe
Where life and death had it out
And we found out
It was no longer child’s play
But the time was spent
And so it went
More than once I did something shameful
More than once I did something wrong
More than once I said something awful
Oh man, it’s hard to be wrong
Left to my own devices
I won’t sit stranded on the road
I can change a flat
Give myself a ride
To the other side
And now look at the bodies
Mine too, lays on the pyre
We take turns playing with matches
We take turns being thrown on the fire
There’s an elegance to forgetting
Turn it into dance and smile
There’s an elegance to forgetting
Just unlearn the dance and freestyle
More than once I did something shameful
More than once I did something wrong
More than once I said something awful
Oh man, it hurts to be wrong
And now look at the bodies
Mine too, lays on the pyre
We take turns playing with matches
We take turns being thrown on the fire
There’s an elegance to forgetting
Turn it into dance and smile
There’s an elegance to forgetting
Just unlearn the dance and freestyle
Freestyle, freestyle
