lyrics

and so they Take the memory from people’s lives,
and you can Watch them as though, they were your eyes,
thought it’d be a Nice way to remember grandma,
a Cathartic grief panorama

Dad loved the idea, and that was that,
His memories seen, grief retracts,
No more mom on his mind, he could stop all that,
No longer unsure, he could relax
The funeral, came and went
but Dad kept watching, without relent,
It’s just casual, was his defense,
But he wore himself down, the full extent

His memories were rose tinted depictions,
and Seen enough, replace his old remanitions,
Soon enough he can’t make the distinction,
Then it restarts with his compiled innervisions

Dad’s got only pleasant memories,
Living only highlights life disconsolate tendencies,
The only place that brings him any comfort,
Is the clinic he frequents for two months

No one around, he gives in,
Doesn’t take long, till he gives up,
So like father, like son, their shared vice,
At least in there, he’s raised right

Three weeks in, went to call his friend Molly,
Watched himself, make that gut wrenching folly,
He was done, sought to stave off the clinic,
Discipline is what’ll curb his addiction

Quickly bored without routine (,) comfort,
He nursed himself back unencumbered,
Self awareness, slave to Monkey-Head,
But it’s the only place grandma isn’t dead
