Fake Memory - Bell X1

We’re smiling for the camera

Me and my mother and my aunt

Me in an ill-fitting tuxedo

Wrong color cumberband

And not quite the full picture

Some photos missing from the pack

Where’s me asleep on the table?

Or her not kissing me back?

Her not kissing me back

The space that lies between us

I remember is cold

But one man’s deep failure

Is another man’s gold

I sometimes get a little mixed up

In this Venn diagram

That little sliver in the middle

Who I wanna be is who I am

Is who I am

Fake memory

Telling me what I want to hear

Oo oo fake memory

Telling me what I want to hear

And now we’re capturing these moments

Tying them to the tracks

Here comes a locomotive

And no one gives a damn

You can’t say no it never happened

And you’re not alone

If memory serves you badly

It’s right here on my phone

It’s right here on my phone

Fake memory

Telling me what I want to hear

Oo oo fake memory

Telling me what I want to hear

Do you remember?

Oo oo

Remember the time?

Fake memory

When we were all laughing?

Telling me

Was I laughing or crying?

What I want to hear

Yeah do you remember?

Oo oo

Do you recall?

Fake memory

The love climbing

Telling me

Before the fall?

What I want to hear
