Preoccupations – Memory lyrics

[Verse 1: Matt Flegel]
Necessary but against your better judgments
You were being overcharged in the market square
Overwhelmed and it’s coming from all angles
You were entertaining the idea that it wasn’t fair

[Pre-Chorus 1: Matt Flegel]
But the picture seemed sharp enough
To view life through you
I can’t remember where we were
Where were we when we all went under?

[Chorus: Matt Flegel]
You don’t have to say sorry
For all the things you failed to do
You don’t have to say sorry
For all the times when everything fell through

[Verse 2: Matt Flegel]
State-sponsored character assassination
I promise that I’ll burn your things when you’re dead and gone
It’s an orchestrated controversy
No strategies for dissolving in the atmosphere

[Pre-Chorus 2: Matt Flegel]
And the distance seemed sure enough
From Point A to Point B
Your favourite feeling was the ground falling out
From beneath your feet

[Chorus: Matt Flegel]
You don’t have to say sorry
For all the things you failed to do
You don’t need to say sorry
For all the times when everything fell through

[Verse 3: Dan Boeckner]
Unholiness
Arrives by satellite on time
And I see no anomalies
Between both sides

[Verse 4: Dan Boeckner]
You could help me
With every little need
End scene
Left here with no paraphernalia
Recede

[Bridge: Matt Flegel (Dan Boeckner)]
Erasing (Erasing)
Your memory (Your memory)
Erasing (Erasing)
Your memory (Your memory)

[Verse 5: Matt Flegel]
Our particles collide and drown
By candlelight
Our particles collide and drown
By candlelight
