Reminder
The cat scratches the kid Daddy slaps the cat Mommy wakes up drunk And unleashes her hell When I look into your Eyes and my heart trembles Hope my nose starts bleeding So I won't forget No more tries are needed My skin carries your scars Thanks for the reminder I won't forget Here is where I breathe You don't fit in here I've got my ghosts to fight Get out of my place Next time when I see you And butterflies flap their wings Hope my nose starts bleeding So I won't forget No more tries are needed I've got enough scars to lick Thanks for the reminder I won't forget
Unhealable optimism makes us forget, and therefore forgive. Fixing memories of real-life incidents when they leave their mark on us, as taking pictures of scars before they fade away, may help us remember.
