The New Denial

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
That's fine with me, I guess
Though it came as a surprise
I got to celebrate my memory's retreat
It's finally forgetting things

I pushed it away, I let history lie
Finally memory sleeps
Goodnight

It's going to be all right, okay
I'm leaving everything behind
So goodnight, farewell
And cheers to the new denial
You're so exhausted with the born again routine
You die a little bit each time you smile
So grit your teeth
They like you happy
