And when the seasons get you down
I'll come running to tuck you in
Out the window, looks like all of the colors
All of them melting down
Heat escaping barely keeps you awake
Shivering in your clothes
Frosting glass is cracking into the shapes
You try to forget you know
You always seem to call when nothing's on, proceed to memory
You always seem to track the thread before the information's in
You're awfully calm, is all
You're awfully calm, is all
And when the seasons get you down
I'll come running to tuck you in
And out the window, looks like all of the colors
All of them melting down
The heat escaping barely keeps you awake
Shivering in your clothes
The frosting glass is cracking into the shapes
You try to forget you know
(Water! Fire! Rain! Inhale!)
And soon all you'll have is the memory
(Water! Fire! Rain! Inhale!)
And then you won't even have that memory
And soon all you'll have is the memory
And then you won't even have that memory
(Water! Fire! Rain! Inhale!)
And soon all you'll have is the memory
(Water! Fire! Rain! Inhale!)
And then you won't even have that memory
Come out of there
We have just one night
Crack this tomb while everybody's sleeping
(And soon all you'll have is the memory)
Come out of there
We got just one chance
If we lose out, no one is the weakest
(And then you won't even have that memory)
Come out of there
We have just one night
Crack this tomb while everybody's sleeping
(And soon all you'll have is the memory)
Come out of there
We got just one chance
If we lose out, no one is the weakest
(And then you won't even have that memory)

Proceed to Memory was produced by Armistead Burwell Smith IV & Rob Crow.

Rob Crow was asked about this song, but wasn’t willing to share much about it:
“Proceed to Memory,” Crow says, is “another in a long line of songs about mortality.” When I press him to tell me more, he says he “wasn’t prepared to get all…depressed.”
