"Memories" lyrics

We're down the road now
So where's your code now
Would you have kept it if you knew what you know now
Oh, on the low down
I'm feeling closed out
Yeah I knew you once a long time ago now

See now and then
I think back and wow
My way back when
Kinda hurts right now

Oh, memories
Chemical signal burdens
Keeping my brain from working
Killing my serotonin, yeah
Oh, memories
Can't count the ways I curse you
Wish that I could unlearn you
Hope that they find a cure soon

A disconnection from recollection
I'm vacationing from my transgressions
In a subversion of expectation
I'm stepping out and seeking redemption

I could move some place
I could change my name
But I won't let things go that way again

Oh, memories
Chemical signal burdens
Keeping my brain from working
Killing my serotonin, yeah
Oh, memories
Can't count the ways I curse you
Wish that I could unlearn you
Hope that they find a cure soon

In all of the times that I could've broke
I hinged on something
If I don't take stock and if I don't grow
Then it's been for nothing
I'll take my baggage down the road
And I'll be what I'm stuck with
Yeah, there's a lot I gotta take

Little moments, still haunting
'Cause I don't get the point of it
When you don't get what you wanted
Or you need something and you lost it
Yeah I miss you
Yeah you don't care
It's a hard truth to take but I'm going there
You went some place
You went somewhere
But the mark you left remains

Oh, memories
Chemical signal burdens
Keeping my brain from working
Killing my serotonin, yeah
Oh, memories
Can't count the ways I curse you
Wish that I could unlearn you
Hope that they find a cure soon

And always
Something burnin' out, out, out, out
And someday
We may figure out why or how
