lyrics

(Verse)

The pills that she took
Pushed the memories aside
But as they were off
She couldn't leave them behind

Maybe a kind,
Or cruel trick of the mind
That memories fade
And decline over time

As memories fade
Only emotions remain
Raw and sublime
And defiant of time

(Chorus)

Persistence of memory
But it's slipping with time
The details remembered
They fade over time

(Verse)

The pictures he took
And cached somewhere online
Technology changed
And left him orphaned behind

Maybe a kind,
Or cruel trick of the times
Data degrades
And links rot over time

As memories fade
Only emotions remain
Raw and sublime
And defiant of time

(Bridge)

In liminal spaces
And subliminal states
The delicate edge between
Been and might be

Savor the memories
And learn from the past
Let grace replace anger
Close the door on the past

(Chorus)

Persistence of memory
But it's slipping with time
The details remembered
They fade over time

(Outro)

As memories fade
Only emotions remain
Raw and sublime,
And defiant of time
