Elegance To Forgetting

Another corner cafe

Where life and death had it out

And we found out

It was no longer child’s play

But the time was spent

And so it went

More than once I did something shameful

More than once I did something wrong

More than once I said something awful

Oh man, it’s hard to be wrong

Left to my own devices

I won’t sit stranded on the road

I can change a flat

Give myself a ride

To the other side

And now look at the bodies

Mine too, lays on the pyre

We take turns playing with matches

We take turns being thrown on the fire

There’s an elegance to forgetting

Turn it into dance and smile

There’s an elegance to forgetting

Just unlearn the dance and freestyle

More than once I did something shameful

More than once I did something wrong

More than once I said something awful

Oh man, it hurts to be wrong

And now look at the bodies

Mine too, lays on the pyre

We take turns playing with matches

We take turns being thrown on the fire

There’s an elegance to forgetting

Turn it into dance and smile

There’s an elegance to forgetting

Just unlearn the dance and freestyle

Freestyle, freestyle
