"Memory Loss" lyrics

I can't remember the day that the dog died
I just remember he's gone
I couldn't tell you where we let him lie
If it weren't for that singular stone

Memories revisit, I get the gist of it
But something is missing
A collar, a grave, is there a name
For knowing what you'll soon forget?

I can't remember how my younger face
Got to here, I just know I'm older
Where freckles have faded my scars and mistakes
Would she recognize the woman before her?

Memories revisit
I get the gist but the pictures are missing
No physical frame, is there a name
For all the small things you forget?

Memories revisit
I get the gist
Memories revisit
I get the gist
Childhood's somewhere (Still remember)
What'll still be there (Till tomorrow)
I get the gist
Write it down take a note
Memories fickle
I get the gist
Not physical
I get the gist
Something's changing, is it growing?
Keep the photos
Only the gist
Something's gone
Keep the photos you don't know
I can't remember the day that the dog died
I just remember he's gone

My childhood's somewhere, decaying in hardware
And only now I feel the weight
Why my mother cried desperately, mourning the memories
In plastic bags I threw away

Memories revisit, I get the gist of it
But each one is eating me inside out
They're all lost the same, is there a name
For sealing your fate to forget

Memory loss
