lyrics

Please forget me when I am gone.
I've been half remembered for too long.
I live on the third floor of this house.
I sing songs in the room where the staircase stops.
I've been here for years so long.
Yet I've been made to feel I don't belong.

You see, sincere is all I've got.
Because I believed in everything I lost.
And the heat from this floor, it's just too much.
When my feet are burning I lift them up.

So please, don't forget me when I am gone.
A memory that is blurred is beautiful.
Because I breathe like I always do
and I feel and even allow it to be true
I am awake or asleep depending.
I am betrayed by the floor under my feet.
Betrayed.
