lyrics

Place your memories in a paper bag
Take them to the river, deep and cold
Throw them in and watch them sink to the bottom
Without your past you never can grow old.
Without your past you never will grow old.
And as you say goodbye and grieve over your stolen youth,
Let go of both your nightmares and your dreams.
Neither holds you back or holds any relevant truths.
Your reality was never what it seemed.
And between the lies, confusion and disparity
There lies a point from which you don’t come back.
And in that instance of emerging crystal clarity
Perceptions all at once become the facts.
Perceptions all at once become the facts.

Take this pain and burden from your shoulders
And curse your god for having placed them there
And when it feels like everyone’s turned colder
Remember after this there’s no one there.
After all of this there’s no one there.
Who loves you isn’t where important answers are,
Who hurt you fans the flames and seals the deal.
And it doesn’t really matter what your memories are
If you can’t face the truth ‘bout what you feel.
And in that place between betrayal and just giving up
If you can reach and pull the knife out from your back
You can stop the bleeding, sometimes that alone’s enough.
Truth never was the basis for the facts.
Your history was never based on facts.

Place your memories in a paper bag
Take them to the river, deep and cold
Throw them in and watch them sink to the bottom
Without your past you never can grow old.
Without your past you never will grow old.
