To Be Forgotten Lyrics - Post Electric Blues - Idlewild

I'm choosing words that seem to be forgotten 

As I use them 

These are the same words that let me be forgiven 

The minute I choose them 

So I won't try, try, try to sell my advice 

'Cause it's meant to be forgotten 

The minute you try 

The lies take the place of advice 

But I can't say if I'm awake 

Like I say we're built that way 

Where I'm from 

An extension of Lacan's way 

A mirror stage of disappointment 

Where you're from 

Give me a clue when these words were written 

In reference to use them 

So when they're gone they intend to be forgotten 

The minute you choose them 

There's not much point accepting your advice 

Like oh, to be forgotten 

'Cause it only takes two minutes for you 

To change your mind 

But I can't say if I'm awake 

Like I say we're built that way 

Where I'm from 

An extension of Lacan's way 

A mirror stage of disappointment 

Where you're from 

I can't say if I'm awake 

Like I say we're built that way 

Where I'm from 

An extension of Lacan's way 

A mirror stage of disappointment 

Where you're from
