Ram Origami Lyrics by Peter Hammill

X My Heart

0

[Verse 1]
Here's the lost boy with the brittle smile
Plastered panstick on his face
Making himself up; for a little while
All the fragments will remain in place
We are only what we manage to retrieve
Out of memory
(Who do you think you are?)

[Verse 2]
Inside, it's hailstorm visibility
Transformed by outer confidence and charm:
Step up to take responsibility
Step down to keep the pieces of identity calm
(Who do you think you are?)
And the moment we believe that we got it all in place
Is the very moment when the cup overflows
Out of memory (Who do you think you are?)
Out of memory (Where did you say you'd been?)
Out of memory (What did you think you were?)
(How did it seem?
How does it seem?)

[Bridge]
(Who do you think you are?
Where did you say you'd been?
What did you think you were?
How did it seem?
How does it seem?
How does it seem?)
(Where did you say you'd been?)
([?] you are?)

[Verse 3]
There goes the who, the what, the why and wherefore
All folded up in origami stuff:
People and places we once cared for...
We remember, but not vividly enough
(Who do you think you are?)
And it's all blank paper when we finally open up
With not even watermarks as messages to trace
Only folds in the floe of the frozen face
Out of memory (Who do you think you are?)
Out of memory (Where did you say you'd been?)
Out of memory (What did you think you were?)
Out of memory (How does it seem?)
(Who do you think you are?)
(How does it seem?)
