Ten times removedI forget about where it all began
Bastard son of a bastard son
Of a wild eyed child of the sun
And right as rain I'm not the same
But I feel the same, I feel nothing

Holding back the fool again
Holding back the fool pretends
I forget to forget that nothing is important
Holding back the fool again

I sensed my loss before I even learned to walk
And I remember my birthdays
Empty party afternoons won't come back

Holding back the fool pretends
I forget to forget that nothing is important
Holding back the fool again
I forget to forget me, I forget to forget you see
Nothing is important to me, I knew my loss

Before I even learned to speak
And all along I knew it was wrong
But I played along with my birthday song

Holding back the fool again
Holding back the fool pretends
I forget to forget that nothing is important
