The Memory Song

from The Milk by Ortega Fuerte

/

lyrics

Imagine that fashion believes that it's real:
It takes a diamond to know how someone feels/
To know/ The way you feel/
Does compressed carbon symbolize true love is what you thought/
Or does it simply symbolize your love can be bought?

We jump into vehicles with people we don't know.
If we were us again/ where would we go?
Where/ would we go?
Does doing something symbolize we're doing something else.
Does symbolizing something symbolize something else?

Nobody's telling you the truth.
'Cause you can't memorize the truth.
You have to know it when you recognize the truth.
Do you still recognize the truth?

Memorize this sequence all the way through.
How does it do what you memorize it to/ what you memorize it to/
Never mind someone's already figured out for you.
So you don't have to memorize the Why it wanted to.
