He tries desperately to forget her, Jealous of those with amnesia. Pleading with all that is holy, Begging for an uninterrupted respite From the relentless burden of pain. But her memories are permanent. They are etched in his brain Like lovers' initials carved in an undying oak. So he's constantly searching for a chainsaw That he only finds at the bottom of a bottle.

In Search of a Chainsaw
He tries desperately to forget her, Jealous of those with amnesia. Pleading with all that is holy, Begging for an uninterrupted respite From the relentless burden of pain. But her memories are permanent. They are etched in his brain Like lovers' initials carved in an undying oak. So he's constantly searching for a chainsaw That he only finds at the bottom of a bottle.
