Fortunate Former by The Moms (Punk) Lyrics

There is a better version of myself
But there’s amounts I let linger
I keep them high up on a dusty shelf
That I reach when I know heartbreak

I got a noose I keep to remind me, oh
I keep it wrapped around my finger
If I give up the further I get away
It cuts right to the bone

[Chorus]
Fortunate former, I have made a mess of us
What once was brilliant is now dead and bound to rust
Got all the good things now since I’ve fallen out of touch

They came along with me to grow upon
And I'm afraid that I went missing
And what is gone will have to be remade
In the (?)

[Chorus]
Fortunate former, I have made a mess of us
What once was brilliant is now dead and bound to rust
Got all the good things now since I’ve fallen out of touch
[Chorus 2]
Fortunate former, I am out to find you still
If you’re still out there, I hope this message finds you well
Your memory inspired me, living stories still
