Lyrics

From Memories

Track 1:

Your music and your spirit filled the room.

You were a keystone and a crucial part

Of breaking through the murky boring gloom

To brighten every corner of my heart.

I’m sure you’ve moved to bigger, better things.

I wish you all the best along life’s way,

And may all of the gifts that your life brings

Make lives of others joyful every day.

Within my mind you will not be forgot.

How could your mark upon my brain be gone?

All of the smiles to my face you brought,

Engraved in my skin, cannot leave upon

Your absence. Although I will miss you, I

Know you are in my heart for ages nigh.

Track 2:

My face reflects within your rearview mirror.

It won’t be long until you’re out of view.

But you will never truly disappear

While I still have my memories of you.

Don’t look back, not when your future awaits.

Don’t look back, there’s nothing left here to see.

Do not look back, not when your current rates

Prophesy the person you’re yet to be.

I know that in the long run this is best

No matter how it hurts to watch this sight

For me, I know you will not feel unrest

Because we are both positive it’s right.

Don’t look back, or consider me. Instead

Let your eyes follow mine, full speed ahead.

I'd write you a song

But it would be wrong

Too stagnant, dead, and not alive like you

It would make me bored

Compared to a chord

You made up with nothing else to do.

(Chorus) Your improvisation

Gives me a new sensation

Not just sound, but vision

I'd call it improvision

You're cool, easygoing,

And never, ever knowing

The first time that I saw

You, I discovered awe.

I'd do what I could

It would be no good

Compared to what with an absent mind

You'd play with one hand

A five-finger band

And I would inspiration find. (to chorus)

I'd tell you all this

But you wouldn't miss

The praises of one who conforms

A mote in the eye

Of one who the sky

Burns open for, defying simple norms. (to chorus)

Happy Birthday: Reprise

I can forget you for a year

But now you come around

And long-repressed emotion leaps

Or at least I have found

I don't want to forget you, despite all the pain

You caused me. When you disappear

You become a legend, your tale will remain

With me until this time next year.

It's too hard to look at your face

Your penetrating eyes

Are out of place. You were so young

But despite it, so wise.

I don't want to forget you, despite all the pain.

Some believe we still keep in touch.

You become a legend, your tale will remain

But retelling it hurts so much.

The February thirty-firsts

Hide those that couldn't stay.

I scorned you once, and now it hurts

The price is mine to pay.

I don't want to forget you, despite the pain.

I wonder foolishly if meanwhile

You become a legend, your tale will remain

Am I remembered in your file?

Personal

Perhaps unsurprisingly, Angle is single. Like most people from Zwangzug, he is an atheist.
