Out of sight, Out of mind

You think people forget about you now.
Just wait till after you're dead.
 
OUT OF SIGHT, OUT OF MIND.

That's the way it's always been.
Family and friends will forget all about your ass as well.
 You think "Oh not my family and friends."
Yes. Your family and friends.
It's inevitable.

OUT OF SIGHT, OUT OF MIND.

From the time the funerals over and grave is covered with dirt.
The headstone is placed, the flowers are placed.
Briefly there is a time of pain and hurt.
Then the process of starting your job again and daily life begins.

OUT OF SIGHT, OUT OF MIND.

From time to time there will be thoughts of the dearly departed.
A song a place a smell  a thing could trigger a memory of past loves.
Eventually though the memory of them will become faded.
Death erases the prescence and that's all.

OUT OF SIGHT, OUT OF MIND
