Alzheimers Lone Cage
Mama said not to swear
But damn it is too clear
I’m going crazy
You are alone
You are alone and you know it
All these monsters
The dark is near
My soul evolves
Even though you’re next to me
I’m still alone
I’m alone
Alone in this body
Alone in with no help
I swear I could hear a beep
Of course
I’m a living dead
But they need to know
I love them
Maybe I should cry
A tear as cold as ice
No, I used to be nice
I could bring the stars
Oh my love
I’m alone
I’m alone and I know it
Maybe I should try to open my eyes
These four walls surround me
Yes, I remember
It was the car accident
I lost all hope
Sorry I forget
I wish I could tell you but I forget
I’ll save my last breath
Maybe to say I love you
No, that’s selfish of me
I’m gonna say it
I’m still dying anyway
I know it’s my time
Remember the song of the bird
Please remember ‘em
Maybe I say too much
Or maybe I was desperate
But nothing’s changed
Those four walls
Darn, I miss ‘em
Gotta miss ‘em
Sorry I forget
But it’s just me
I’m alone
Alone in this world
A spec of dirt in a microscope from above
Maybe I said too much
Or maybe I was desperate
But nothing changed
These four walls guard me
I love this place
Sorry I forgot your name
I’m not one to socialize
But one day you’ll see
Why I seclude from watching eyes
I don’t know you
