Becoming And Forgetting

You've been here a lot longer than you let on
Maybe you've been here longer than you know
We've got the choice to act like assholes if we want to
Or we could presume we met a long time ago

A world full of people with faces so strange
But the sound of a voice and the face starts to change
I give you the benefit of the doubt could you do the same?
I ain't looking for anybody to take the pain but

Maybe if we could remember
Even back to yesterday
Stop telling one from another
See this face in a different way
Not much hanging on beginning
Always really just a pawn
Of everything becoming and forgetting
Becoming and forgetting
Becoming and forgetting

You tell me time is slipping through your fingers
I see it as a circle made of string
Every time you feel that knot baby
It's the same one coming round again

People play because there's so
Dead leaves they try hard to present hate
Draw me near the blood we could mingle and to seal our fate
We could be coming forgetting shed a skin and shed a shade

Maybe if we could remember
Even back to yesterday
Stop telling one from another
See this face in a different way
Not much hanging on beginning
Always really just a pawn
Everything becoming and forgetting
Becoming and forgetting
Becoming and forgetting

When exactly does day become night
Just like everything in between black and white
Combinations and gradations so subtle and so sly
The judges and the juries can go hang themselves tonight

Maybe if we could remember
Even back to yesterday
Stop telling one from another
See this face in a different way
Not much hanging on beginning
Always really just a pawn
Everything becoming and forgetting
Becoming and forgetting
Becoming and forgetting

Maybe if we could remember
Even back to yesterday
Stop telling one from another
See this face in a different way
Not much hanging on beginning
Always really just a pawn
Everything becoming and forgetting
Becoming and forgetting
Becoming and forgetting
