Strip away the asset Rip apart my memory Turn my mind to ashes Tearing through what's left of me A life once full Now robbed of any certainty Each day I wake up to find there's less and less of me There's no divorcing this weight I've learned to share The hardest part is through it all I've befallen your prayer I can't escape Nowhere to hide No way to fight it as it eats me from the inside Erode, decay I slowly waste away Dispair, dismay Waste away Waste away (Waste away) My child forgive me If I don't know your name It's not 'cause I don't love you Lately I just haven't been the same I'm slowly fading; a shell of who I've been But I still smile 'cause all the while, I'll be remembered in the end I am the mind thief I've come to claim what's not mine Your own thoughts migrating fills your sleep But you are running out of time Running out of time I will erase it all; the good the bad I'll steal away your soul! My child forgive me If I don't know your name It's not 'cause I don't love you, lately I just haven't been the same I'm slowly fading; a shell of who I've been But I still smile 'cause all the while, I'll be remembered in the end And I forgive you when you don't know my name I know that you still love me and you just haven't been the same You're slowly fading so I'll treasure what remains Your touch, your smile Know all the while, you'll be remembered at the end
