Brian Yorkey - Aftershocks lyrics

[GABE] They've managed to get rid of me Returned me to the grave ECT, electric chair We shock who we can't save They've cleared you of my memory And many more as well You may have wanted some of them But who can ever tell Your brainwaves are more regular The chemistry more pure The headaches and the nausea will pa** And you'll endure Your son is gone forever though Of that the doctor's sure The memories will wane, the aftershocks remain You wonder which is worse, the symptom or the cure They've managed to get rid of me I'm gone without a trace But sear the soul and leave a scar No treatment can erase They've cut away the cancer But forgot to fill the hole They moved me from your memory I'm still there in your soul Your life goes back to normal now Or so they all believe Your heart is in your chest again Not hanging from your sleeve They've driven out the demons And they've earned you this reprieve The memories are gone, the aftershocks live on But with nothing to remember is there nothing left to grieve? [DIANA] With nothing to remember
