Lyrics for Practical Amnesia
I see the scar I see the drain pump puncture My memory recites the story But I I can't remember I've forgotten the pain It's a funny thing A funny thing Evolution's practical amnesia In any other scenario were predisposed To viscerally recall the trauma I know it was like 10 million wasp stings Around my g-string But my memory it was the kiss of a butterfly wing It's a function so that I might Do it again There's a picture of me packing the wound And draining the grenade That's my house and those are my clothes But I don't recognize the face I've forgotten the pain It's a funny thing A funny thing Evolution's practical amnesia In any other scenario were predisposed To viscerally recall the sting I know it was like 10 million wasp stings Around my g-string But my memory it was the kiss of a butterfly wing It's a function so that I might Do it again I see the scar I see the drain pump puncture My memory recites the story But I I can't remember I've forgotten the pain It's a funny thing A funny thing Evolution's practical amnesia
