[Intro]
Fuck!
[Verse 1]
I was an existential criminal, so innocently cynical
Ignorant as fuck but a proud individual
Originally meant to live a God-damned miracle
Might’ve been metaphysical, but I think it was medical
Testing my hypothesis
Never finding a theory
[Verse 2]
Emulating animals and mental aboriginals
A miserable fuck but a loud Tao mystical
An enemy of ritual traditionally integral
To Biblical originals, but literally pitiful
Too impatient for outpatient
Paging Dr. Leary
[Pre-Chorus]
Did you lose yourself? It’s always in the last place that you’d check
I might find myself by retracing my steps, but…
[Chorus]
I don’t remember, well, I forgot myself
I don’t remember, I don’t remember 2012
I don’t remember how I forgot myself
I don’t remember, I don’t remember 2012
I don’t remember 2012, I don’t remember
Wow, the whole year’s a blur
Fuck!

I don’t remember, I don’t remember 2012
I don’t remember how I forgot myself
I don’t remember, I don’t remember 2012
I don’t remember 2012, I don’t remember
Wow, the whole year’s a blur
[Verse 3]
I think I bought into the comedy and brought a lot of oddity
An odyssey I thought to be consider a commodity
And not until anomaly abolished my monotony
Did I applaud autonomy and modify a lot of me
I’ll escape this reality
Be the next Houdini
[Verse 4]
Glory be Satori but its hallucinatory
And it’s sure to be a story I can tell in purgatory
I said, once I’ve lost it can there be a Mahaprajnaparamita?
[Pre-Chorus]
Did you lose yourself? Well, it’s always in the last place you’d check
I might find myself by retracing my steps
[Chorus]
Wow! I don’t remember how I forgot myself
I don’t remember, I don’t remember 2012
I don’t remember how I forgot myself
I don’t remember, I don’t remember 2012
I heard the world would turn to hell
Compared to that, I’m doing well
I don’t remember how I forgot myself
I don’t remember, I don’t remember 2012
I don’t remember how I forgot myself
I don’t remember, I don’t remember 2012
I don’t remember 2012, I don’t remember 2012
I think I bought into the comedy and brought a lot of oddity
An odyssey I thought to be consider a commodity
And not until anomaly abolished my monotony
Did I applaud autonomy and modify a lot of me
I’ll escape this reality
Be the next Houdini

Wow! I don’t remember how I forgot myself
I don’t remember, I don’t remember 2012
I don’t remember how I forgot myself
I don’t remember, I don’t remember 2012
I heard the world would turn to hell
Compared to that, I’m doing well
I don’t remember how I forgot myself
I don’t remember, I don’t remember 2012
I don’t remember how I forgot myself
I don’t remember, I don’t remember 2012
I don’t remember 2012, I don’t remember 2012
