Vertigo

My memories have escaped me
They have escaped me
Like a train from a station with no destination
They needed more repetition
But my thoughts are emptier
They are emptier than veins on the moon

So I've forgotten you

I don't recognize the language
But I understand the words

When I come back, there is a gap
There is a gap and you act like my life is a jointless appendage
I am the ice, the melted ice
At the bottom of your glass
Your glass, at least there's some flavour left

So I've forgotten you

I don't recognize the language
But I understand the words

All those around me
Speak in a foreign tongue but their words
They are clearer than my own thoughts
All those around me
See a different wavelength
But they see me clearer than I see myself

So sip the bottom, that melted ice
It's not an addiction, it's only a life
Look over the edge, I see your face
I'm lookin' through glass eyes into outer space
And my heads rolling, when I see your face
I get vertigo

Lookin over the edge, I can see your face
Lookin through my glass eyes into outer space
How the memories fade
Poisoned nostalgia, I tried to tell ya
To never look back
Poisoned nostalgia
(never look back)
I tried to tell ya, but that was shit advice
(I tried to tell ya, I tried to tell ya, I tried to...)

All those around me speak a foreign tongue
But their words are clearer than my own thoughts
All those around me see a different wavelength
They see my clearer than I see myself
When I see your face, I get
I get vertigo
I don't recognize the language
But I understand the words
I don't recognize the language
Diving further into

These centuries, they have shaped me
Now they have shaped me
Like a mold that's ablated, my past is truncated
The voice is gone, done and dusted
Expressions absent
Sound disintegrated, we have been sedated

So I've forgotten you

I don't recognize the language
But I understand the words
I don't recognize the language

All those around me
Speak in a foreign tongue but their words
They are clearer than my own thoughts
All (all) those (those) around me
See a (a) di- (di-)fferent wavelength
But they see me clearer than I see myself
