I try not to remember

I try not to remember
but it doesn't do much good
I keep moving backwards
which is not the way I should
there's photographs and scrapbooks
with all you'd want to see
but I look at them and say
get the hell away from me

          'cause I don't like memories
          get them off my front lawn
          because they remind me
          that everybody's gone
          and that everything moves on

I try not to remember
I tend to numb my mind
by drowning all the voices
you could ever think to find
I think it might be working
I've forgotten most I ever knew
problem is I think that I
have more forgetting to do

          'cause I don't like memories
          get them off my front lawn
          because they remind me
          that everybody's gone
          and that everything moves on
