[Verse 1]
Staring at the ceiling, the plaster’s turning grey
Every word I buried, you dig it up today
You got a scrapbook made of my regrets
A Gallery of Shadows You Haven’t Finished Yet
Your mind is like a cellar, cold and damp and deep
Where every little failure is a promise, you can keep
[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, the ink is dry, but the blood is wet
You’re the architect of the things I’d like to forget...
[Chorus: Explosive distortion, heavy vocal layering]
She’s got a memory like a tombstone
Carved in every sin I’ve ever known
I’m crawling in the dirt of yesterday
She won’t let the ghosts just fade away
No... she won’t let em fade away...
[Verse 2]
Coffee’s getting colder, the air is getting thin
You’re counting the tally marks beneath my skin
I offered an apology, you put it on a shelf
Next to every version of my former self
The calendar is bleeding, the years are circling back
You find the tiny fractures in every little crack
[Chorus]
She’s got a memory like a tombstone
Carved in every sin I’ve ever known
I’m crawling in the dirt of yesterday
She won’t let the ghosts just fade away
[Bridge]
Feed the fire... with the old debris
Lock the cage... and throw away the key
Wash it down... with the bitter tea
You’re the judge, the jury, and the misery...
Misery...
[Guitar Solo]
[Outro]
Yesterday is now...
Yesterday is forever...
You never forget.
You never forget.
Forget...
