Song#: 20
Album 09) The Myth of good and bad
Name of Song: My excuse is I don’t know
Nothing like experiencing
That thing you couldn’t face,
Earlier but still so real,
Was another time and place.
The sin was deep and horrid,
A crime against their soul,
I now feel what I then did,
I’ve never been quite whole.
Chorus
Easy to forget,
What I did long ago,
Dying always blanks it out,
My excuse is I don’t know.
_______
This is how it goes for me,
I sin and then forget,
A chain is built upon this road
And then I think I’m set.
Dying helps forgetting,
All those things you’ve done,
Convenient you say to self,
It lets me think I’ve won.
Chorus
Easy to forget,
What I did long ago,
Dying always blanks it out,
My excuse is I don’t know.
_______
You feel you can’t remember,
That you’re a spiritual being,
My body seems an easy friend,
It gives so much agreeing.
Hard to make amends,
When I die before it’s done,
Forgetting now my norm,
Amnesia has begun.
Chorus
Easy to forget,
What I did long ago,
Dying always blanks it out,
My excuse is I don’t know.

I know I can’t remember,
But really hard to face,
My sins of so much earlier,
From another time and place
