OLD WAYS OF FORGETTING

we never worried much about borderlines
stepping over them together in perfect time
i went along helping burn every bridge we ever crossed
you'd laugh and say "don't worry about what we've lost"

   but i'm sick of tv, old songs, of who i've been
   a half finished book next to a fifth of gin
   a sad story or drink won't erase that last goodbye
   those old ways of forgetting don't work
   no matter how i try

i danced across the strange landscape you painted
but following blind left me jaded
turns out little of my reasoning was sound
now i've got to try to turn my life around

   i'm sick of tv, old songs, of who i've been
   a half finished book next to a fifth of gin
   a sad story or drink won't erase that last goodbye
   those old ways of forgetting don't work
   no matter how i try
