Forget Yourself

and sometimes,

when you're in company 

of those who do not understand you


you lose your tongue,

and forget yourself

but only for a sec


but i'll throw off my chair 

I'll clasp your shoulders i'll say-


YOU HOLD THE POWER OF WORLDS WITHIN YOU, MY FRIEND


i'll take your chin and scream for you to SCREAM

i'll yell-


YOU REALIZE YOU'RE A CERTAIN TYPE OF WAY?


i knows your name, 

i knows your name,

your name is Miguel

Maribel, Rafael


you lose your words

i see them beginning to march from out your mouth 


dum, dum, dum

dum, dum, dum


you're surrounded by the blind

they don't understand you


but only because they don't understand themselves


so forget them,

forget yourself as you seems to be 

within'd them

and remember who you are


come back to me, 

to the true us


I SAYS REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE


From calling out your names,

My throat, it's become coarse 


for one last time I'll cry out-


Miguel!


Maribel!


Rafael!


Come,

now you knows how it goes,

you knows how it goes


My god, i mean this all literally,

And i know you seem to think you knows me

but by God you really, really do


so believe me.
