Don't Remember Me
(c) 2005 Brian Madison

The labyrinth had many holes
And we know I fell through them all
I always thought I'd be the one
To raise us but I missed the call
Another lifetime of regrets
I guess no one should be surprised
So much for us to overcome
So little time to become wise
Informed by values from a time
When self-effacement was a virtue
Can’t say I’m a better man
For all the things I’ll never do now

Don't remember me
I don't want to be remembered
I am not worthy
And I should not be remembered
You could reach the heights I'll never see
If you don't remember me

I had everybody fooled
For so long including me
Just a sad inherited flaw
In my personality
There is nothing you should fear
There's angels flying near to you
Just use what you can learn from them
I know somewhere they cheer for you
Maybe you can break the cycle
Pay it forward as you go
You are loveable and worthy
This I know has always been so

Don't remember me
I don't want to be remembered
I am not worthy
And I should not be remembered
I want nothing but to set you free
So don't remember me

Just burn my photos
Burn my letters
Burn my notebooks
Burn my clothes
Burn my desk
And all its contents
Burn my ribbons
Burn my bones

Guess it's best if I just go now
Please forgive but don't forget
You'll be better off without me
Leave you all with my regrets
My angerholic tendency
Is your co-opted legacy
Please do one last thing for me
And burn our geneology
But please let me leave not a trace
No aftertaste left in the wine
No signal waving in the noise
Oh, sweet oblivion be mine now

Don't remember me
I don't want to be remembered
I am not worthy
And I must not be remembered
Be the ones that you were meant to be
And don't remember me
