| 作词 : Hammill | |
| Here's the lost boy with the brittle smile, | |
| plastered panstick on his face, | |
| making himself up; for a little while | |
| all the fragments will remain in place. | |
| We are only what we manage to retrieve | |
| out of memory | |
| (Who do you think you are?) | |
| Inside, it's hailstorm visibility | |
| transformed by outer confidence and charm: | |
| step up to take responsibility, | |
| step down to keep the pieces of identity calm | |
| and the moment we believe that we got it all in place | |
| is the very moment when the cup overflows, | |
| out of memory. | |
| (Who do you think you are? | |
| Where did you say you'd been? | |
| What did you think you were? | |
| How did it seem? | |
| How does it seem?) | |
| There goes the who, the what, the why and wherefore | |
| all folded up in origami stuff: | |
| people and places we once cared for... | |
| we remember, but not vividly enough | |
| and it's all blank paper when we finally open up | |
| with not even watermarks as messages to trace | |
| only folds in the floe of the frozen face | |
| out of memory. |
