Alone - Blinded By Faith

Your grew old and grey, alone in your corner

Time passed by so fast, life’s now far behind

Every hour is dull, you wither away day by day

With loneliness, time to kill, wounds to heal

Memories are all that remains now pictures on the wall

Sand in your hands, dust in the wind, ghosts of what was

Children, they are all across the universe it seems

But never here, or almost, mere presence in your head

You spend your days between your bed and the toilet

Longing for what you just cannot define

You weep or stand still, alone with your bones

And uncertainty as nightmares unfold

Soon, you won’t even remember your name

The stories will remain locked in your brain

Nailed to your sickbed, understanding nothing

Surrounded by strangers, their cold hands on you

They ll feed and wash you, cold carcass

Simply existing, deprived of the sparkle

They won’t answer your questions, you won’t ask

Who are you?

Where am I?

Will it end?

And you ll leave the hospital one bleak morning

To be buried in an anonymous graveyard

Under a pale tombstone and different skies

Forever forgotten in the arms of silence
