Envy on the Coast
Lucy Gray
Lapse
The road turned into a snake
It looked in my veins and said
"It's in your blood."
That's when I tried to run
But it was way too dark
Got scared
Ran into your arms
Oh sweet chemical predicament
Can't stop, can't change the evident

Predisposed to forget the best part
The story where the hero dies without regard
Made sure that the meaning was clear
When I let myself fall asleep
And all I kept was a piece of your picture
It slipped from my fingers
When I slid into my dreams

It's not as deep as it seems
And unfair as it may be
I'm just here to remind you
Remind you not to forget to remember me (x2)

I know you know how it feels
To make a clean break
Upholding your bones
My home is your home
You must be so confused
I got scared and ran away from you
Oh sweet divine predicament
I can't hide, I can't change the evident

To portray the way you used to laugh
Do you recall the day you wed?
Such a radiant bride
You couldn't wait to see your first boy
Take his very first steps
Then you smiled at him
Cause you thought he looked like me

It's not as deep as it seems
And unfair as it may be
I'm just here to remind you
Remind you not to forget to remember me (x2)

Now I've tied your question so much
I don't possess the strength to answer straight
And no, I'm not afraid
At least not to die
I'm afraid to live and not remember why
Sweet chemical indifference
I can't stop, can't change the evidence

Predisposed to perpetual sickness
I refuse to let you all be witness
Make the sure the needle is clean
When you let me go back to sleep
And situate the piece of her picture
Underneath my fingers
That protects me in my dreams

It's not as deep as it seems
And unfair as it may be
I'm just here to remind you
Remind you not to forget to remember me (x2)
