There's a reason why this song isn't splattered wet
on the concrete behind me, with a mess of love and percocet
There's a reason why you haven't left me yet
But we'll soon forget
But we'll soon forget, thank god
But we'll soon forget
And we won't need it

And I'm starting to think the stones in my skull aren't literate
And I'm starting to think the bones in my hull are gonna sink the ship
I'm starting to think there's a reason for the whole conglomerate
But I'll soon forget
But I'll soon forget, thank god
But I'll soon forget
All the stupid shit

Our epidermis burns
As the world it turns
But the stench is not so bad

And the holding hands
And the balding bands
None of this will stay intact

There's an old man at the bus stop who sits and sits
That line ended years ago but he still waits for it
When the nurse would come for him you'd always cry a bit
But we'll soon forget
But we'll soon forget, thank god
But we'll soon forget

And the sakes we keep
And the beauty sleep
Will be scrubbed out with the stains

And the subtle charms
Fists and folded arms
Will be all that now remains

And there's a reason why this song isn't splattered wet
On the windshield in front of me, with a sheen of blood and tagamet
There's a reason why the day we die will be one we won't regret
But we'll soon forget
But we'll soon forget, thank god
But we'll soon forget
But we
But we
