The New Denial Paroles

But Mama called and cried to me

"Baby, your anniversary was last Tuesday"

That's right, okay, I guess it slipped my mind

And that's fine with me, I guess

Though it came as a surprise

I got to celebrate my memory's retreat

It's finally forgetting things

I pushed it away, I let history lie

Finally memory sleeps

Goodnight
I'm leaving everything behind

So goodnight, farewell, and cheers

To the new denial

Exhausted with the born again routine

You die a little bit each time you smile

So grit your teeth, they like you happy
