Lyrics
Find another songThey've managed to get rid of me,
return me to the grave
ECT, electric chair we shocked who we can't save
They've cleared you of my memory,
and many more, as well
You may have wanted some of them, but who can ever tell?
Your brainwaves are more regular,
the chemistry more pure
The headaches and the nausea will pass, and you'll endure
Your son is gone forever, though,
of that the doctor's sure
The memories will wane
The aftershocks remain
You wonder which is worse
The symptom or the cure
They've managed to get rid of me,
I'm gone without a trace
But sear the soul and leave a scar
no treatment can erase
They cut away the cancer but forgot to fill the hole
They moved me from your memory
I'm still there in your soul
Your life goes back to normal now
or so they all believe
Your heart is in your chest again,
not hanging from your sleeve
They've driven out the demons
and they've earned you this reprieve
The memories are gone
The aftershocks live on
But with nothing to remember
Is there nothing left to grieve?
With nothing to remember
