Forgotten Sanity Lyrics

I've forgotten how to write
& I'm giving up on speech
I can't remember how I look
or the day of the week

Your love is a distant memory
along with most of my family
I'd get on my knees but I'm not allowed
even though I've forgotten how
I've forgotten how
I've forgotten how
I've forgotten how
I've forgotten how

I've forgotten how to walk
& I can't use my hands at all
I'd cross my heart & hope to die
But I'm heading for a fall

Just let me go for my sanity
Put me out of my misery
I'd get on my knees but I'm not allowed
even though I've forgotten how
I've forgotten how
I've forgotten how
I've forgotten how
I've forgotten how

Decay, decay, decay, decay

Your love is a distant memory
along with most of my family
I'd get on my knees but I'm not allowed
even though I've forgotten how
I've forgotten how
I've forgotten how
I've forgotten how
I've forgotten how

Put me out of my misery
Let me go for my sanity

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Taken directly from an interview with Toni:

"And what about "Forgotten Sanity," in which she chants "Decay, decay, decay, decay"?

"That was completely off the head. It's really about Alzheimer's." Halliday quotes the lyrics: "'I've given up on speech, I can't remember how I look or the day of the week. Your love is a distant memory, along with most of my family.' Those degenerative diseases you get in old age strip you of everything. You're left in a dodgy old people's home."
