"Remember Yourself" lyrics

"Remember Yourself"

Cast my net into an empty sea
Yeah, I guess that I'm fumbling
For things to say that I truly mean
But they will coalesce

Sometime I'll be dead and gone
Sooner than I hope, but I hope I'm wrong
Well, remember this when I'm gone
Remember yourself, not me

It'll get confusing, but that'll pass
The mind manufactures its own artifacts
Then confuses again and that is that
Just names on an empty page

Sometime I'll be dead and gone
Sooner than I hope, but I hope I'm wrong
Remember this when I'm gone
To remember yourself, not me

Cast my net into an empty sea
And yeah, I guess that I'm fumbling
For things to say that I truly mean
But they'll soon come to me

Sip the same air and it feels benign
Yeah, it can be trippy, but it can be fine
Ya gotta maintain yourself a healthy mind
And remember yourself, not me

Sometime I'll be dead and gone
Sooner than I hope, but I hope I'm wrong
Well, remember this when I'm gone
To remember yourself, not me

Cast my net into an empty sea
And yeah, I guess that I'm fumbling
For things to say that I do believe
It hasn't happened yet

Try to maintain an open mind
But if things aren't working, don't you waste your time
Yeah, it can be trippy, and it can be fine
Remember yourself, not me

Hello and bye with the same palm
Paths, they cross, and then they move on
And we cast our shadows on an empty lawn
And remember ourselves, not we

Sometime I'll be dead and gone
Sooner than I hope, but I hope I'm wrong
Remember this when I'm gone
To remember yourself, not me

Sometime I'll be dead and gone
Yeah, sooner than I hope, but I hope I'm wrong
Well, remember this, please, when I'm gone
To remember yourself, not me
