From the album Lucy Gray, 2007

The road turned into a snake

It looked in my veins and said

"It's in your blood"

That's when I tried to run

But it was way to dark

Got scared, and ran into your arms

Oh sweet chemical predicament

Can't stop, can't change the evident

Predisposed to forget the best part

A story where the hero dies without regard

Made sure that the needle was clean

When I let myself fall asleep

And all I kept was a piece of your picture

Slipped through my fingers when I slid into my dreams

It's not as deep as it seems

And as unfair as it may be

I'm just here to remind you

Remind you not to forget to remember me

I know you know how it feels to make a clean break

My bones are your bones

My home is your home

You must be, so confused

Got scared and ran away from you

Oh sweet divine predicament

Can't hide I can't change the evident

I'm predisposed to trust a photograph

To portray the way you used to laugh

Do you recall the day you wed?

Such a radiant bride, you couldn't wait to see

Your first born take his very first step

And you smiled at him, 'cause you thought he looked like

Me, it's not as deep as it seems

And as unfair as it may be

I'm just here to remind you

Remind you not to forget to remember me

Now I've dodged your questions so much

I don't possess the strength

To answer straight

And no, I'm not afraid, at least not to die

I'm afraid to live and not remember why

Sweet chemical indifference, I can't stop

Can't change the evident

Predisposed to perpetual sickness

I refuse to let you all be witness

Make sure that the needle is clean when

You let me go back to sleep

And situate the piece of the picture

Underneath my fingers it protects me in my dreams

It's not as deep as it seems

And as unfair as it may be

I'm just here to remind you

Remind you not to forget to remember me

You promised me forever. You promised you'd never hurt me. I was naive and now i'm the one with scars and you're the one with the smile.It is truly as deep as it seems.This beautiful song is now nothing but deceitful lies to me. I don't know if ill ever come to terms with my feelings for you, i know now closure is something i will never have. Somedays i hate youSomedays i think about what could have been but will never be.Do i hate you?Is this hatred? No..I want to hate you, Chance Patrick Donovan.But i can't.

, truly happy and unaware of his condition. "oh sweet chemical indifference". this song hits home, and brings me to tears with each listen. I thank Envy on the Coast for putting making beautiful words and music available to people affected by Alzheimer's and similar ailments. This song is, for lack of a better phrase, perfect

last week my grandfather passed from an illness called frontotemporal dementia. this illness is somewhat rare, and hits at an early age. he was 63 at diagnosis, and lived to 70. He was a strong, caring man who would do anything for his family. It nearly killed my mother, his daughter, when he didn't recognize her a year ago. "I'm just here to remind you, remind you not to forget to remember me." We can only take solace in the fact that he was, to his dying breath

my brother died of a heroin overdose about 6 months ago and this song has helped me so incredibly much. it allows me to get in touch with my crazy feelings and just all around helps me with the grieving process. thank you envy on the coast. i dont care if this song is about heroin addiction or not. im a recovering heroin addict and can relate so much to the words in this song. thank you so much. i hope you get to read this.
