Gladenfold - Dementia

I've been here forever
It seems I've lost my way somewhere in time
Where are the words I used to speak

And the face I used to call into my dreams
Gone like the first autumn rain

There is a void inside me
That weeps for sorrow unknown
Like a hopeless song
I cannot define sealing doors in my mind

Like a ghost in this strange play of life
I haunt in the halls of my own house alone
Out of date
Dancing with moonlight not knowing why
Following the red carpet line into the room
Where too beds are lying untouched, unused

As dawning breaks twilight
Shade of an old man appears
Standing next to the bed
Staring somewhere only he can see

It kills to grief something you don't have a story for
Memories are but fragmented pictures and undefined emotions
Who I was who I am now

I do not hate I do not pity myself
I am worn out and cast away I am resigned
To watch as time takes the rest of me
For there is so little left to take

Like a ghost in this strange play of life
I haunt in the halls of my own house alone
Out of date
Dancing with moonlight not knowing why
Following the red carpet line into the room
Where too beds are lying untouched, unused

A flash of light reveals the darkness it's like a
heavy weight is lifted of my chest
Hazy wall is gone and those memories are clear
Finally I identify the face
I have craved all this time
She's been there waiting for me
