lyrics

I can pretty much remember
Every song I've ever heard
Even if I forget the words
I can whistle the tune

Even shitty pop hits
Overplayed at the city pool
I hated to look cool
Are occupying room

I'm reasonably confident
I can sing every song i wrote
If I get some luck to float
I'll get the chord changes too

Even those sad sap melodies
And cliche turns of phrase
I can still see the page
As if it's ink is brand new


But if asked to recite
Any film I really liked
Any book that changed my life
Or words said late at night

I only barely recall
All these pages on the wall
Seems I failed to install
Hardly anything at all


Well I am what I've eaten
In a literal sense
But the literary nutrition
Is a large percent
Of who i am despite the loss
Of detailed specifics
All shrouded in a hazy gloss
But deep and intrinsic

yet somehow
These melodies are clear
Full resolution
Inside my inner ear

Everything is there
Orchestration, structure, tone
Sure, I loop and skip a bit
But the song's inscribed in stone


But what sticks
Emotional impressions
Formative connections

The best bits
Sculpt evolving worldview
Planting seeds from trees grew

No bull shit
Filter out the filler
Chill with just the killer

Yeah the Things that stick
All that ever really mattered
After the noise has all been shattered
