24th of December

Why can't I Remember to Forget all these Memories, please Why can't I Shed the thought Of wanting to Fall apart Once there was this boy He was 12 years old He played basketball in school Even when he caught a cold He also played guitar Could just play for hours It was just way too fun, sometimes he forgot to shower He had this teacher This kid didnt care about science or this preacher But this dude was amazing He spoke about biology so passionately making it the kids ideology "Time for some test results!" "Amazing kid, hell, you're doing so well!" "Well thank you mister, this is just swell!" Why can't I Remember to Forget all these Memories, please Why can't I Shed the thought Of wanting to Fall apart Oh I have Come this far I will keep on Playing my part In february '07 A 13 year old boy wanted to make a good impression He bought a present for his mom Spent so much time looking for it, he thought it was "the bomb" You see he and his mom had been arguing a lot And this present he bought was to make up for it, he thought "Happy birthday mother" he said "What is this?" She said as she rose from her bed "It's my present for you" "Don't want anything from you, now get out of my room!" Not knowing what to do he went to his room, started crying like a baby coming out of a womb Cause of all the thought that he put on this present He went back to the store with so much resentment All he wanted to do was to make her smile Saying "I forgive you with this present, let's not be hostile?" And from this day on Shit escalated til' the family bond was gone Why can't I Remember to Forget all these Memories, please Why can't I Shed the thought Of wanting to Fall apart Oh I have Come this far I will keep on Playing my part Seven years later he left the haters He works at a store, lives in an apartment on the ground floor Things are looking up for him, he even goes to the fucking gym But on the 24th of december, he can't do nothing but remember See this grown boy can't shed his thoughts He just sits there, thinking of how much they fought He cannot forget Things seem even worse than before he left 'Cause in retrospect He can finally see how fucked up his home had been So he sits there alone Doing nothing but remember On the 24th of December
