To Forgive Tabs

Ten times removed; I forget about where it all began.
Bastard son of a bastard son of a wild eyed child of the sun.
And right as rain, I'm not the same but I feel the same, I feel nothing.

Holding back the fool again.
Holding back the fool pretends.
I forget to forget, nothing is important.
Holding back the fool again.

I sensed my loss before I even learned to talk.
And I remember my birthdays;
Empty party afternoons won't come back.

Holding back the fool again.
Holding back the fool pretends.
I forget to forget, nothing is important.
Holding back the fool again.

I forget to forget me.
I forget to forget, you see.
Nothing is important to me.

I knew my loss before I even learned to speak.
And all along, I knew it was wrong,
But I played along, with my birthday song.

Holding back the fool again.
Holding back the fool pretends.
I forget to forget, nothing is important.
Holding back the fool again.
