lyrics

these notes they don't count for much
they're what we're left with
I think we're still stuck
but I don't need a hospital
it all heals in time, that's what they always say

you, you snuck in the back
and switched the things that we did
with the ones we forgot
and insist, it's not revisionist, everything here is true
or were you not in this too?

and I don't want anything to be different
I see that it mostly is fine
so why am I reading book after book about genocide?

and there is no introspection
the lesson learned slowly hits me in the head
and I'm out, gone in a moment
you'll tell everyone that you thought I knew
all along

these notes, they don't count for much
they're what we're left with
I think we're still stuck
but I don't need a hospital
it all heals in time
that's what they make you say
