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
