Alzheimer

I’m losing
Your name and your voice
I’m sinking
In this disease

All I have left
Are these memories
But I’m so old, babe
That they’ll soon fade away

I can’t remember you anymore
Why are you leaving me?
You’re becoming a shadow, babe
I can’t recall

Color by color, you’re falling apart
You’re smudges, you’re stains and halos, fading more and more
Your scent is fading, the sound of your laughter is escaping
Everything that makes you is being destroyed by this
The letters of your name are slipping away
Your voice is a whisper, forgetfulness hides it from me
The collapse of words is now breaking through
All the lights shatter, darkness pulls you under
(Everything changes) Tell me where
All that we did and our walks
Are fragments that shatter and nothing absorbs them
They’re pulverized in the shadows, they blur
Who are you? Memories are bubbles
What do you want? Why are you here? Why do you disappear?
Why do you come and go? Why does it get dark in my mind?
There’s something that connects us, I feel like I know you
I’m sorry, ma’am, I think you came to see someone else

All I have left
Are these memories
But I’m so old, babe
That they’ll soon fade away

I can’t remember you anymore
Why are you leaving me?
You’re becoming a shadow, babe
I can’t recall

I can’t remember you anymore
Because you’re leaving me
You’re becoming a shadow, babe
I can’t recall
I can’t recall
I can’t recall
I can’t recall
