Dolly Dirtbag - Don't Forget Me (Interlude)

I still feel like I haven't arrived and the places are all a jumble
The city is too small and also enormous
I pass by the same places in my car like I'm on a ride at Disneyworld,
The track takes you the same way every time
The same Best Buy Krispy Kreme
The way the Best Buy Krispy Kreme looks from the window
I'm still waiting for someone to reveal themselves
Because I'm never at the center of the city or my life
My sister said she could never live in the valley because of our grandparents, our great-Grandparents
And the track they were so stuck on
But we didn't know them
They were just characters in a sad story
Or smiling faces on a billboard, selling an expensive happiness
And so I find them everywhere and nowhere

I'm falling
I'm just falling
Grabbing at things, scraping my fingers along the walls
Soft pads and then nails
Away from him, far from him
But touching the wall as him
So many people still live in me and I dress them up and hang them on the walls
I believe in more and more
I stack on layers
I add to them
I write and rewrite conversations, I feel them, I repeat
And then I forget
I make the same mistakes
Here I am hungover again
Here I am hungover again
Here I am hungover again

Did you think you could erase me?
Of course you would write me as a punchline, how you, how us
I am only a character now even to myself and your words might as well become my Memories
And I hate you for rewriting me so empty, for rewriting us as just anyone
Your story is empty, the people are flat
Our life was empty, and we were so flat
You wish you could rewrite me and erase the pain
But don't forget it sleeps lightly between the lines
Like my hand hesitating at your bellybutton
How does it feel to hear me tell it?
