The sixth song in the album, this song is describing Alzheimer’s, a condition in which one of the main symptom is loss of memory, the person in this song, is lamenting their anger about how they are losing their memories, and losing everyone around them.
[Verse 1]
I couldn't recall the name, the place or circumstances
A friendly, smiling face, the hurt shown in the glances
And ne'er a chance to think, the gaps filled in while I've descended
Let me out, I know that I am close
And yet, we seem so far removed
There's something just ahead, is it who I used to be?
Don't leave me
[Verse 2]
Roaming through a haze, a fog that's never lifting
Straighten out the sheets, I know that somеthing's missing
Try to tell myself, sometimеs you just forget things
Oh, though I am still alive, I am not alive
Falling and falling, the edge of recalling
The puzzle of my mind, the smaller deaths before I die
And still, the hands of time, they form the world I see
A world that was not meant for me
Becoming less and less of who I used to be
[Bridge]
I am afraid, am I alone?
Will they all leave when I am "gone"?
So many doors will stay unturned
And what I've known will be unknown
Just let me rest and hold my hand
Though my faces hides, I am still there
This is not home, it's not my own
I'm on my own
[Verse 3]
So run away before you see
See the death of me
And the end of us
I will understand
Control I have lost
My ambition, all for naught
Who was I?
Who am I?
Am I to believe you will stay with me?
Keep me company?
I may not know how or why, but I promise to never leave
"Patient", I will be
[Outro]
I think I was supposed to say something here
I guess
