Memory Crash
I swear that wasn't the picture on the wall
(nah, that's not how it happened)
Watch it shift
Check the tape, check the headlines in the morning Timeline cracked with
no sirens and no warning
I remember every single word they wrote Now it's vanished like a
phantom in a burning coat (rewind!)
Turn the page, tell me who erased the frame
Whole crowd screaming out an unfamiliar name Got the gold tipped horn
on the logo in my head Now you're telling me it never
even existed? Dead. My brain or the history lying?
Static on the wire and the cable's unbinding!
(wake up!) Look at the seam tear wide!
Rewriting the past right before my eyes!
(HEY!
HEY!) Tell me which world took the fall!
Rewriting the past, gotta cut the ties!
(HEY!
HEY!) None of this was here at all! (yeah!)
Two worlds bleed into one cold street
Heart skips three when the drum skips beat Did he die on
the yard or walk in the sun?
We all sang along till the ink came undone Got the photograph
burnt in the front of my skull Now the archive is blank
and the servers are null (what?) Glitch in the ribbon,
snap of the thread
Living out a rerun painted in red!
Tell me who moved the line in the dust!
Every recollection turning to rust!
(wake up!) Look at the seam tear wide!
Rewriting the past right before my eyes!
(HEY!
HEY!) Tell me which world took the fall!
Rewriting the past, gotta cut the ties!
(HEY!
HEY!) None of this was here at all!
(get back!)
(shhhh...) Which parallel? Which split?
I watched you cross it!
RESET THE RECORD!
(break it down, break it down!)
Rewriting the past right before my eyes!
(HEY!
HEY!) Tell me which world took the fall!
Rewriting the past, gotta cut the ties!
(HEY!
HEY!) None of this was here at all!
I know what I saw.
I know what I saw.
(none of it
happened)
