"The Novelty of Being Closeminded"

Since when is it a sin to endure what is new?
I will kick and scream and I will cry and cry
Until I forget my own name amidst all of you
I damn well won't know it, but I'll still have my pride

 

And the waves will roll in, and pull me on out
Well I'll be waving to you with a flag in my hand
You'll say there goes that boy, where is he shipping off to?
And me I won't know 'til I hit where I land

 

And memories and fixations, they work kind've strange
You'll try to recall what was once I
But what you'll remember was what didn't change
What you'll remember is what wouldn't die
