lyrics

I said "why not?"
I said "why not?"
Why not give up and tear it all apart?

Oh, what’s the point?
Oh, what's the point?
What’s the point of keeping the dead alive?

And it makes a lot of sense to just forget about the past
You never really had it, and you never will again
And everything is golden when it isn’t happening
The future is perfection
And the past is just
The past is just
The past is just
The past is just the past.

You don’t need proof.
You don’t need proof
You don’t need proof to prove that you’re alive

An artifact
An artifact
An artifact is ego on your back

And it makes a lot of sense to just forget about the past
You never really had it and you never will again
And everything is golden when it isn’t happening
The future is perfection
And the past is just
The past is just
The past is just
The past is just the past.

Don’t slam the cell,
Don’t bar the gate
Don’t doom yourself to only being great

Don’t close the door
Don’t lock the key
Perception is what you want it to be

And it makes a lot of sense to just forget about the past.
You never really had it and you never will again
And everything is golden when it isn’t happening
The future is perfection
And the past is just,
The past is just,
The past is just,
The past is just the past.
