[Verse]
I have proof that I was here
But a feeling like I wasn't
Just as soon as it appeared
It's gone all of a sudden
I don't own the memory
Though the quality is vivid
Though I was there in reality

Of a time and place I've never been
Lord knows how I find it

Pictures fade, technology breaks
I know the moment don't exist within its colour and shape
I take it in just to throw it away
Throw it away, throw it away
