Woke up all alone, a bed that's cold and sterile 
With nothing of my own 
Bombarded and explored by faces unfamiliar 
Intrusions uncondoned 
Cruel thoughts in breif but lucid moments 
I'm losing all i've gathered all my years 
I wonder why these strangers look so sullen 
I wonder what i've done to cause their tears 
Swirling in my head, scenes and reandom memories 
Things i might have said 
Some of them are clear but none of them involving 
Those beside my bed 
I thought the golden years were for reflecting 
I thought i'd teach my grandson how to cast 
I thought i'd be the fireside storyteller 
I thought that i would revel in my past 
Waking only to see the shell of a man i used to be 
Save me i don't want to be a shell of a man 
Comfidence autonomy taken for granted till they leave 
Serenity i counted on was mine for a moment now it's gone 
Today i'm not alone 
She sparks a distant memory 
Someone i might have known 
She fills me in on things we did together 
She says she's loved me since that day we met 
She says that even if i don't remember 
That she will never let herself forget 
Waking only to see the shell of a man i used to be 
Save me i don't want to be a shell of a man
