Listen & view Antemasque - People Forget lyrics & tabs

I remember falling out of the sky
I was sixteen tons of wreckage, tryin' to learn how to fly
Return to sender, the water's comin' up fast
Screamin' to the current, they shoot horses, don't they?
Cast in the slur I hear a fight from the river
Ringing out from the bounds of a slackened jaw

People forget, people tend to forget
People forget, people tend to forget
People forget, people tend to forget
And I just want to remind you

And when I landed, hitting every branch down
My chute, it failed to open, tangled, hang me out in the sun
Yeah, I was baited, on a hook and a wire
Teasing the current in the heart of the Mekong Delta
Cast in the slur I hear a fight from the river
Ringing out from the bounds of its blackened jaw

People forget, people tend to forget
People forget, people tend to forget
People forget, people tend to forget
And I just want to remind you

People forget, people tend to forget
People forget, people tend to forget
People forget, people tend to forget
And I just want to remind you

In every coroner's bag there's an atheist
Sprung from the foxhole that he dug
Don't count me out now, baby, count me out now
I'm like a diamond in the rough (so rough!)
Don't count me out now, baby, count me out now
I'm like a diamond in the rough

The diamond seems to make the perfect cut
But time, it waits for no man
An indefinite stay of execution
Until I'm dragging my crooked home

Don't count me out now, baby, count me out now
I'm like a diamond in the rough (so rough!)

Don't count me out now, baby, count me out now
I'm like a diamond in the rough

People forget, people tend to forget
People forget, people tend to forget
People forget, people tend to forget
And I just want to remind you

People forget, people tend to forget
People forget, people tend to forget
People forget, people tend to forget
And I just want to remind you
