Don't Forget (Dreams)

from Staring Contest by Reid Jamieson

/

about

A lullabye of hope for the hopeless. About addiction and forgotten dreams. Dedicated to the lost ladies of Vancouver's Downtown Eastside.

lyrics

DON’T FORGET

You know how much it’s gonna hurt,
‘til that needle is inserted in your vein again.
You try to pretend there is no pain.
But I see it in the stains under your fingernails.
Hold on tight, keep looking for an answer.
Hold on tight, remember younger days,
when dreams were something you could say you had.
Don’t forget because the world forgot you.
When night falls is the newspaper your bed?
Does it have you seeing red what the
people with money complain about?
You’re drunk on a can of aerosol. And your
tales are getting taller than the will to make it work.
Hold on tight, keep looking for an
answer. Hold on tight, remember younger days when dreams were something you
could say you had.
Don’t forget because the world forgot you.
You spoil yourself while
asleep, with sweet precious dreams,
held in the arms of your mother.
It’s gone the fire
in your eyes.
The face you recognize is just another sad memory.
Hold on tight, keep looking for an answer.
Hold on tight, remember younger days.
Hold on tight, keep looking for an answer.
Hold on tight, remember younger days,
when dreams were something you could say you had.
Don’t forget because the world forgot you.
