Soften lyrics

Leading to the bed on the carpet A trail of lights through the darkest night Now they're showing me the way to the screen Where I learned how to love like a gainful machine To the sound of a bird with no thoughts and no words Just like the end of a song that goes on too long And I turn to see the look on your face Unplugged on a drug, I can't remember your name Hold me close, I've forgotten Let me go, help me soften Now I've seen all there is to see And I often wonder: How hard can it be? To stop relying on that simple release The kind of satisfaction that can put me at peace When I look down at the sprawl of my life From a mountain of memories unsold, and obliged I stumble to my knees and I crawl Just like a bag of old bones I won't remember at all Hold me close, I've forgotten Let me go, help me soften Hold me close, I've forgotten Let me go, help me soften
