The Memory

In my brain
I’m so insane
But I’m okay
It’s the only way
I say I’m the one who can make it right
But you were the one who gave up the fight
Just remember how I felt about you
How I melted, and I knew
That I would never not be in love with you
You deserve the best
But you laid our love to rest
And now I’m searching for recovery
Making sure I keep up with the memory

It started
The parted partners
Joined together and plotted
A course
Of course, we never showed remorse
That’s how I didn’t notice
That you were my dark horse
I saddled up, battled up
Rattled my beliefs up
I found luck, and it sucked
Because I thought it was plausible
Possible to do the impossible
But maybe it still is
Put the message in a bottle
Then call The Police
Until you sting the very thought of
Reigniting the flame
Which was insanely sane
And in the end
The memory remains the same

A Message in a bottle
And the message
Is how you are half of my soul
And everything I wish
I could put in a bottle
Message in a bottle
And the message is how
You were half of my soul
And everything I wished
That I could put into a bottle

In my brain
I’m so insane
But I’m okay
It’s the only way
I say
I’m the one who can make it right
But you were the one who gave up the fight
Just remember how I felt about you
How I melted, and I knew
That I would never not be in love with you
You deserve the best
But you laid our love to rest
And now I’m searching for recovery
Making sure I keep up with the memory

Baby, say you love, then leave me
It’s like Days of Our Lives on the TV
The sands of the hourglass suddenly froze
And we’re the only ones
Who weren’t in the know
A way to say the sun will fade
Is the day the moon
Will cause a tidal wave
Made of both love and hate
You killed me
And in the ashes you stepped on me
Tell me why I hold onto that memory

Man, oh man
I’m about to go off
Stan, Stan, Stan
Your number one fan
I’m not going 90 on the freeway
And I’m not Slim Shady
I’m something new
Something that doesn’t give
A fuck what you blew
So, go ahead, and drink the blue kool aid Through your head that’s dead
Yet, I’m the one who made the
Promise to always take my meds
I made you a goddess
I fucking worshiped you
You made me a man
Who decided to give a shit about you
And no matter what I do
I’m aloof, cause I knew
And now I know
That the weight of the world
Is mine to hold
So, I’m always sold
On the thought of you
I feel your presence
Then suddenly I’m next to you
Partners in crime, like The Beatles
We’re Revolution 9

Oops, I mean Helter Skelter

But you want someone instead of me
While I’m still watching over your memory
Well, then...

In my brain
I’m so insane
But I’m okay
In my brain
I’m so insane
It’s the only way

In my brain
I’m so insane
But I’m okay
It’s the only way
I say
I’m the one who can make it right
But you were the one who gave up the fight
Just remember how I felt about you
How I melted, and I knew
That I would never not be in love with you
You deserve the best
But you laid our love to rest
And now I’m searching for recovery
Making sure I keep up with the memory
