People They Don't Remember

from The New West by Bill White

/

lyrics

Dark matter and old memories
Cancel out the rest
New ideas are hard to hold
As they leak from holes in your chest
It is not a question of forgetfullness
Or the problem of getting old
Its the heat giving way to the cold

chorus Your letter fell back to Earth
Marked Return to Sender
Nobody gives a good god damn
For people they don't remember

Dark matter casts its shadows
Like sunspots on the moon
Memories surround you
They came for you too soon
Playmates from the playground
Most are dead, those still alive
Are falling through a fiery sky
Into the forest of knives

repeat chorus

Before your hard drive crashes
You better back up all your files
With every passing day you turn
another failing dial
like lava from a fissure
the blood escapes your brain
And every thought you thought you had
carves rivers with the rain
