the forgetting room - seeming lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
we were children when i met you
there between the autumn trees
you consumed me and i let you
burn me in the fallen leaves
a thousand winters each more serious
separated earth and sky
the blood was angry, blood was furious
but the heart cannot recall just why

[verse 2]
the quill won’t recognize the paper
the piano doesn’t know its keys
the stars are old and can’t remember
what it’s like to map the seas
and when i look at you i tremble
but d-mned if i know who you are
a ghostly haze of sweet november
lost and senile as the stars

[chorus]
and here in this forgetting room
the rising sun’s a setting moon
and all the world fits in our hands
and this forgetting room
goes to sleep; we’re entombed
by no high command
there’s nothing more to understand

[verse 3]
but in all the happenstance of nature
the cruelty without a name
a random number generator
is still a function all the same
so even if the sky is broken
idiotic, blind with age
i will hold you and keep hoping
there’s a script to guide the stage
and it goes on and on

[chorus]
here in this forgetting room
the rising sun’s a setting moon
and all the world fits in our hands
and this forgetting room
goes to sleep; we’re entombed
by no high command
there’s nothing more to understand

[verse 4]
and if that’s how it has to happen
if that’s the way it’s gotta be
then i submit against all reason
a small request for you and me

[bridge]
make the universe forget us
in some old dusty catacomb
nameless, numberless, and breathless
let our closeness be our home

[verse 5]
first we’d forget why there was fire
then forget why there was love
and i forget what’s next cause i
forget what i was thinking of—right!
we were children when i met you
carried in the careless breeze
now if you leave me, i would let you
but what’s the use of memories?
when now is all your eyes can see
when i forget the melody
