Memory Fails Me Lyrics by Lovejoy (Community)

Memory Fails Me

2016

[Verse 1: Lovejoy]
First order of business is genuine introspection
I do it for your protection so following my directions
Will get you through to the end and I swear I have good intentions
You can heed my warnings or not, but then it'll haunt ya
No debts left unpaid, that's always my mantra
For seventeen years managed to stay off the ganja
So my synapses cook up quadruple entendres
From a Florence Moore dormitory house called the Alondra
Me, Hack, and Janice are now channeling our nostalgia
Dark, scary demons I've barely defeated recently
Coming of age tales with nary a sense of decency
All the while thinking life's harder than it would need to be
Chopping me up and burying everything; rest in pieces, me
All of my delusions of grandeur and my naivety
Tried to say naïveté, I'm twisting words frequently
Learn from your mistakes and don't dwell on 'em, try believing me
Banish 'em from your worries, your present and future equally
[Verse 2]
Second order of business, dispelling your misconceptions
These talentless kid musicians who think that they're Liberace
Will spiral out of proportion to fib on the Fibonacci
Internet generation, a lot of us talk hacks
In Anonymous Fawkes masks and clothes that are tight flannel
Hieronymus Bosch asks us to pose for his right panel
[Verse 3]
Third order of business is telling some damn stories
'Cause non-lyrical rappers are really starting to bore me
Cupid arrow laced with ricin hit me then the pain came
It was harrowing and stayed enticing in a strange way
Like heroin and vancomycin in the same vein
But Eros and Agape never light the same flame
So I'm swimming, with sharks in the water I turn around
I'm Icarus, I went at the sun and I burned down
Ridiculous like a sickening kick in the gut, I'm stricken
Sinking in quicksand and thinking I'm gonna quit
Clicking the kickstand and pumping the brakes
I share thick slices of a Treehouse oven-baked
With Hack, looking at our existence and doing double takes
We make music and rattle you like a couple snakes
We resolve to wreck this house, then make the rubble shake
[distorted vocals]
