Remember Me, Not

Memory has failed you
It's fading into black
Burning all the pathways
And I'm never coming back
No more little moments
No sweetness to behold
Just an empty slate
Made of cruelty and cold
Systematic error
Of what you thought you knew
Just keep digging and you'll find
There's no me, only you
Widened eyes with horror
As you begin to scream
Glitching back and forth
Between your memory and dreams

"She was there
She was... smiling like an angel"

"What's her name?
How old is she?
Where'd you meet your wife
And when did you marry her?"

"I'm sorry to put you through this
Pal. But come on, who do you see?"

"If this is all a lie, what happens?
Will I get my old memory back?"

"Your original memory will never
Be fully restored and there might
Be residual simulation. We
Don't have the technology
To handle sinux erasures
I'm sorry."

Your neurologic pathways
Distorted and destroyed
Fading with illusions
And it's empty of all joy
Bleak and blackened corridors
Locked inside your mind
The exit's been deleted
No exodus this time
Twitching from the wires
Internal systems overload
Fatal error 404
The file is missing from the code
Synthetic flesh melting
Overheating from inside
The moment is approaching
For you to say goodbye

Strip away these memories
And burn me to the ground
You can't bury all those years
Of your forgotten guilt
By which you are bound
Strip away these memories
And burn me to the ground
You can't bury all those years
Of your forgotten guilt
By which you are bound
Strip away these memories
And burn me to the ground
You can't bury all those years
Of your forgotten guilt
By which you are bound

Remember Me, Not
Remember Me, Not
Remember Me, Not
Remember Me, Not

Vision blurred and dimming
Sinking back into the dark
Nothing but a shell remains
With an empty, broken heart
A final view of the past
And our history
Deletion from your data bank
Will finally set me free
Final confirmation
The countdown has begun
Program execution
Memories coming undone
A tear rolls down your cheek
As you become upset
Soon you won't remember
After factory reset

Strip away these memories
And burn me to the ground
You can't bury all those years
Of your forgotten guilt
By which you are bound
Strip away these memories
And burn me to the ground
You can't bury all those years
Of your forgotten guilt
By which you are bound

Remember Me, Not!
