Forward to Forget Lyrics
memorize the angles of your face
and tape record the way you say my name
relate the way you smell and taste
to tangibles no absence can erase
forget about the words youve said and meant
as words mean very little in the end
these memories made fresh i will defend
and i promise that i wont forget again
with feral fingers i will trace
and render all your features in their place
and pray that in the fruits have dug your place
is something fatal fate cannot erase
and shallow rise and fall behind your chest
a vacancy that lingers like like the dead
the lapsing in the cadence of your breath
a lifetime looking forward to forget
were i to exploit these memories
e.g. the space thats just above your knees
i.e. indulge some vulgar need
i'd hope that you'd forgive me
and tape record the way you say my name
relate the way you smell and taste
to tangibles no absence can erase
as words mean very little in the end
these memories made fresh i will defend
and i promise that i wont forget again
and render all your features in their place
and pray that in the fruits have dug your place
is something fatal fate cannot erase
and shallow rise and fall behind your chest
a vacancy that lingers like like the dead
the lapsing in the cadence of your breath
a lifetime looking forward to forget
were i to exploit these memories
e.g. the space thats just above your knees
i.e. indulge some vulgar need
i'd hope that you'd forgive me

Here are the lyrics taken from the Parenthetical Girls website:
Memorize the angles of your face And tape record the way you say my name Relate the way you smell and taste To tangibles no absence can erase
Forget about the words you've said and meant As words mean very little in the end These memories made fresh i will defend And i promise that i won't forget again
With feral fingers I will trace And render all your features in their place And pray that in the fruits have dogged faith There's something fatal fate cannot outpace
The shallow rise and fall behind your chest A vacancy that lingers like like the debt Collapsing in the cadence of your breath A lifetime looking forward to forget
Were I to exploit these memories (e.g. the space that's just above your knees) (i.e. indulge some vulgar need) I'd hope that you'd forgive me
This is what I believe the lyrics to be.

possibility 1: a vacancy that lingers like the dead
possibility 2: e.g. the space that's just above your knees
(just guessing here)
Does no else here a "t" sound at the end of dead?

Is it possibly, "a vacancy that lingers like a debt"?
Is it possibly, "a vacancy that lingers like a debt"?
actually these sound very correct. edited.
"TWO tangibles no absence can erase" ie the way you smell and taste. also "ITCHING the space that's just above your knees."
I feel in love with this song after watching Four Eyed Monsters. Brilliant.

On a side note, this is a devastatingly beautiful song. Zac Pennington is an incredible lyricist.
