Forgotten

from NO WORRIES by Pretty Lousy

lyrics

In June of 97'
you sold off all my things
while I lingered in the closet
and at the forefront of your dreams.
And while you sit at work all day
making those connections,
I'll open all the cupboards,
dirty all the dishes.
I'll make enormous meals
of vegetables and garlic.
Leave it all out on the counter
and wait for you to come home.
Then I'll sit up in the rafters
and watch you throw it all away
with one eye fixed intently on
the table that I made.

Go ahead and fool yourself,
make believe I don't exist.
Go on, call the priest!
Bring in the exorcist!
I know you never once did step inside
a church in your whole life.
Divine-intervention is just a construct in your mind.
I think I'll stay a little longer here
until the daylight fades away.
You can feel me in the study
and in the bedroom where I trace
old photographs forgotten
in a box under our bed
the last weekend spent in Richmond
on a park bench where you said...

"Everything that's for sale will one day let you down."
"Everyone is for sale and everyone will let you down."
