The road turned into a snake

 It looked in my veins and said

 "It's in your blood"

 That's when I tried to run

 But it was way too dark

 Got scared and ran into your arms

 Oh sweet chemical predicament

 I can't stop, can't change the evident

Predisposed to forget the best part

 The story where the hero dies without regard

 Made sure that the needle was clean when I let myself fall asleep

And all I kept was a piece of your picture

 It slipped from my fingers when I slid into my dreams

 It's not as deep as it seems

 And unfair as it may be

I'm just here to remind you

 Remind you not to forget to remember me

 It's not as deep as it seems

 And unfair as it may be

I'm just here to remind you

 Remind you not to forget to remember me

I know you know how it feels to make a clean break

 My bones are your bones, my home is your home

 You must be so confused

 I got scared and ran away from you

 Oh sweet divine predicament

 I can't hide, I can't change the evident

Predisposed to trust a photograph

 To portray the way you used to laugh

 Do you recall the day you wed?

Such a radiant bride

 You couldn't wait to see your first born

Take his very first steps

 And you smiled at him, 'cause you thought he looked like me

 It's not as deep as it seems

 And unfair as it may be

I'm just here to remind you

 Remind you not to forget to remember me

 It's not as deep as it seems

 And unfair as it may be

I'm just here to remind you

 Remind you not to forget to remember me

Now I've dodged your question so much

 I don't possess the strength to answer straight

 And no, I'm not afraid, at least not to die

 I'm afraid to live and not remember why

 Sweet chemical indifference

 I can't stop, can't change the evidence

Predisposed to perpetual sickness

 I refuse to let you all be witness

 Make sure the needle is clean when you let me go back to sleep

And situate the piece of her picture underneath my fingers

 It protects me in my dreams

 It's not as deep as it seems

 And unfair as it may be

I'm just here to remind you

 Remind you not to forget to remember me

 It's not as deep as it seems

 And unfair as it may be

I'm just here to remind you

 Remind you not to forget to remember me
