Do you remember when?
No you don't
Or you do, but you don't care

I suppose that's ok
Afterall, that is in the past
And now it's the present
The future's uncertain
The past set in stone

They say the past can teach us
What has it taught me?
I want to forget!
Not the right lesson
My curve has been skewed
Instead of a bell
Circling chaos, a whirl

The time has now come
For my bell to ring true
I must become me
A phoenix, anew

Let go of my past
A firm grasp not held
Don't struggle
Just let
And believe
And I'll get

Erase: negativity
Fear
And depression

Replace: positivity
Hope
And realization

They say it all happens
For this reason
Or that

This
-or-
That?

Tit
-for-
Tat?

Stay
-or-
Scat?

Friend
-or-
Rat?

People change
People grow
