The New Denial Lyrics - The Good Life

i can't do this anymore: 

stay in, black out, hit the floor. 

i've forgotten what i'm hiding from 

but mama called and cried to me, 

"baby, your anniversary was last tuesday." 

that's right...okay, i guess it slipped my mind. 

and that's fine with me, i guess, 

though it came as a surprise. 

i gotta celebrate my memory's retreat 

it's finally forgetting things. 

i pushed it away. i let histroy lie. 

finally memory sleeps. 

goodnight. 

it's gonna be all right okay? 

i'm leaving everything behind 

so goodnight, farewell-and cheers 

to the new denial. 

exhausted with the born again routine... 

you die a little bit each time you smile. 

so grit your teeth, they like you happy.
