(VERSE I)
I used to hang on to your
every word always
paying attention to
the idealistic view
of how you'd speak
the truth in your
every word
fool me once
fool me twice doesn't
matter at all to me
an extorted guilty plea
never thinking
before you speak
I always hold your tongue
in contempt
(CHORUS)
For-
get me forgotten
but you'll remember
my name right when
my fist hits your face
like a loaded freight train
I've
listened to your shit
in every
word that you
try to spit out but
now is the time
for you to get
what's been coming to you
(VERSE II)
I'm right, you're left
I'm up, you're down
the cycle goes round
and our eyes will
never meet in
the middle
we keep persisting
while always
resisting the points
we try to make
to valid
our every assault
but I guess it's my fault
to ever think
you'd listen to me
but now you have no choice
(VERSE III)
It's just too bad
the mouth you have
doesn't come with an
off switch, but nothing
that tape can't fix
to make you
shut up and listen
the Van Gogh
of all the
bullshit artists
always
trying your hardest to
gain the attention you
never deserved
in the first place
i will just turn face
and keep on walking
(CHORUS)
(BRIDGE I)
It's been
hit or miss
for way too long
and I'm
over this shit
THIS WILL BE
THE LAST TIME
YOU GET TO SPEAK
(BREAKDOWN)
(BRIDGE II)
Please
forget me
cuz I already forgot you
Please
forget me
cuz I've already forgotten you
