Forget to Remember Lyrics by Megadeth

Super Collider

2013

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
Sands in the hourglass fall for us all
You don't answer me anymore when I call
So much is trapped inside, mmh, tangled in your brain
It's getting cold outside and it looks like rain

[Pre-Chorus 1]
The sky is falling
And my heart is caving in

[Chorus]
So, now the time has come to say the long goodbye
The setting of the sun reflecting in your eyes
Day after day after day the world will pass you by
You forget to remember

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
If this is living, what the hell is living for?
You've boarded up your eyes, your mind has locked the door
I'm just a stranger now with an unfamiliar face
You can't recall me at all
There's not a trace, not a trace, not a trace

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I don't know where you are
And my world is crumbling in

[Chorus]
So, now the time has come to say the long goodbye
The setting of the sun reflecting in your eyes
Day after day after day the world is passing you by
You forget to remember

[Instrumental Break]

[Spoken]
I just want to talk - What do you want?
But you've nothing to say - Leave me alone
I beg you to come - Get away from me
And you just walk away - I have no idea who you are!
I curse the day that your smile fades away, till then I pray

[Bridge]
A burning candle in-between and at both ends
With all that we've learned, yet we still pretend
I just wish you could say my name again

[Verse 4]
They made the lock and broke the key
The culprit was the mercury
The vaccine wipes your memories
Till you forget even how to breathe

[Pre-Chorus 3]
A tangled web they weave
When they practice to deceive

[Chorus]
So, now the time has come to say the long goodbye
The setting of the sun reflecting in your eyes
Day after day after day the world has passed you by
I said that I'd be strong, but you know I had to lie

[Outro]
You forget (confess) to remember (confess)
You forget (confess) to remember (confess)
It's time (confess) to say (confess) the long goodbye
