Lapse Lyrics - Singles - Envy On The Coast

The road turned into a snake 

and looked in my veins and said 

it's in your blood 

thats when i tried to run 

but it was way too dark 

i got scared and ran into your arms 

oh sweet chemical predicament 

i 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 

it slipped from her fingers when i slid into my dreams 

it's not as deep as it seems 

and 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 

i got scared and ran away from you 

oh sweet divine predicament 

i can't hide i can't change the evident 

we disposed the trusted 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 steps 

and you smiled at him cause you thought he looked like me 

it's not as deep as it seems 

and unfair as it may be 

i'm just here to remind you 

remind you not to forget to remember me 

now i've dodged your 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 

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 the needle is clean when you let me go back to sleep 

and situate the piece of her picture underneath my fingers 

it protects me in my dreams 

it's not as deep as it seems 

and unfair as it may be 

i'm just here to remind you 

remind you not to forget to remember me
