Memory
The Tossers Lyrics

Well oh remember that day, average and gray, you came to me and then
I recall the dull day when you came to me

I heard a kindness like a memory I once felt on a passing wind
I heard your kindness that reminded me of a memory long forgotten

From street and stone they still resound your presence and animation
The streets and buildings still bear witness to your energy and life

No not negation or affirmation, but positivity and creation
You inspire positivity and creation, rather than negation or affirmation

Not destruction but creation in the waning hearts you mended
Instead of destruction, you mend waning hearts with creation

But the spark of connection that fills the soul when simply you're befriended
Your friendship creates a spark of connection that fills the soul

As well I knew in such freedom grew also isolation
With freedom comes isolation, as I know too well

Of the pain of knowing so very few who'ld not desire your captivation
It's painful to know so few who don't desire to capture and control you

Your love and true and pure desire tireless, endless and sad
Your tireless, endless, and sad love is true and pure

I wonder now would I be the same if I'd left what if I had
I wonder if I would be the same person if I had never met you

To discover to the world what I know of you and not unattainable song
I want to share with the world what I know of you, not some unattainable ideal

There's a lot more to you than song
You are much more than what any song can convey

Pedestals they cannot describe the torment you've been through
Even pedestals cannot accurately describe the hardships you've faced

And banishment cannot consumate the frustration and monotony we knew
Being banished cannot satisfy the frustration and monotony we experienced

And song will never ever portray the wonder that you've known
No song can ever capture the wonder you have experienced

But lyric sticks here like a timeline and it's a mark to show we've gone
These lyrics are like a timeline, a mark that we were here

So I'll represent this kindness since all else is extoled
I will represent your kindness since it's the most worthy of praise

And present how it does thrive
And show how it thrives

Like the care and nourishment long forgot in infancy that kept us alive
Your kindness is like the care and nourishment we received in infancy that kept us alive

Lethal environment does not always justify reactionary violent behavior
A harsh environment doesn't always justify violent behavior

For striking down malevolence takes it's place and our timeline read the same here
Stopping evil takes priority and our timeline reflects this

Oh this kindness is what the great search is for not wisdom or divining
Kindness is what we should seek, not just wisdom or fortune telling

Our subconscious recognizes it's safeguard from birth
Our subconscious recognizes kindness as a safeguard since birth

To keep our self absorbed frustrated minds from grinding
Kindness keeps our self-absorbed and frustrated minds from crumbling

Oh but the kindness I've known
But the kindness I've known is the most important thing
