I went to a place I haven’t been in months
I took my car and I took my mind
Tried to remember when my brain worked things out
I guess my memories cloud with time

Pray for destruction
cuz it’s the only sure bet
Take disappointment
it’s the easiest to get
Remember nothing
if you want to live your best
Let go of something
when you need to save the rest

I used to believe I was exceptional
That’s just a fancy word for alone
I’m more exceptional than ever before
When I wake each morning on my own

Don’t pray for pity
no one will ever come through
Sway from approval
cuz it remains absent, too
Forget all you know
if you want to make it far
Hold on to lonely
it remembers who you are

Pray for destruction
cuz it’s the only sure bet
Take disappointment
it’s the easiest to get
Remember nothing
if you want to live your best
Let go of something
when you need to save the rest

I’m just a piece of this giant world we know
I need to stake my claim as it comes
I taste each breath in this wicked game of life
Cry in the end and when it’s begun
