Envy on the Coast
Lapse
[Verse 1: Ryan Hunter]
The road turned into a snake
It looked in my veins and said:
It's in your blood
That's when I tried to run
But it was way too dark
I got scared and ran into your arms
Oh sweet chemical predicament
Can't stop, can't change the evident

Predisposed to forget the best part
A story where the hero dies without regard
Made sure that the needle was clean
When I let myself fall asleep
All I kept was a piece of your picture
Slipped from my fingers when I slid into my dreams

[Chorus]
It's not as deep as it seems
And unfair as it may be
I'm just here to remind you
Remind you not to forget to remember me
It's not as deep as it seems
And unfair as it may be
I'm just here to remind you
Remind you not to forget to remember me
[Verse 2: Sal Bossio]
I know you know how it feels to make a clean break
My bones are your bones
My home is your home
You must be so confused
Got scared and ran away from you
Oh sweet divine predicament
I can't hide, I can't change the evident

Predisposed to trust a photograph
To portray the way you used to laugh
Do you recall the day you wed?
Such a radiant bride
You couldn't wait to see your firstborn take his very first steps
And you smiled at him 'cause you thought he looked like me

[Chorus]
It's not as deep as it seems
And unfair as it may be
I'm just here to remind you
Remind you not to forget to remember me
It's not as deep as it seems
And unfair as it may be
I'm just here to remind you
Remind you not to forget to remember me
[Verse 3: Brian Byrne]
Now I've dodged your questions so much
I don't possess the strength to answer straight
And no, I'm not afraid, at least not to die
I'm afraid to live and not remember why
Sweet chemical indifference
I can't stop, can't change the evident

Predisposed to perpetual sickness
I refuse to let you all be witness
Make sure the needle is clean
When you let me go back to sleep
And situate the piece of the picture underneath my fingers
It protects me in my dreams

[Chorus]
It's not as deep as it seems
And unfair as it may be
I'm just here to remind you
Remind you not to forget to remember me
It's not as deep as it seems
And unfair as it may be
I'm just here to remind you
Remind you not to forget to remember me
