Amnesia - Mind.In.A.Box

I can see myself tucked in and fast asleep

Looking all peaceful but in my dreams I weep

From far up I’m looking down upon myself

And I wonder who it is that’s lying there

I feel like in a world all beside myself

Afraid I won’t wake up with no one there to care

I know someone used to watch me in my sleep

But some things seem just impossible to keep

I fight hard to bring it back into my mind

But to no use, it all seems to be a blank

I wonder what it was that had me defined

But one thing I know, I have myself to thank

I feel like I have amnesia

But I know it’s myself I’ve lost

I wonder what’s happened so far

And what might have been the cost

I’m not sure I want to know

Any of the things I’ve done

I don’t know yet where to go

But I’ll accept my past is gone

I feel like I have amnesia

And I’ve missed the heavenly host

I’m surprised I’ve come this far

Living without what I need most

I don’t think I can go back

To the things that were before

Though I’m now always wearing black

I don’t bemoan my life of yore

I wake up and feel like I should be at home

But I do not know this, it’s not where I belong

My head is dazed and my mind is all confused

And I’m not quite sure that I’m really there

But the mirror shows me looking out, bemused

Into a blank place that could be anywhere

I feel like I have been left out in the cold

And it hurts to know that this is all my fault

I leave this place to find familiar ground

But the whole world seems to have been rearranged

Now my former self is nowhere to be found

And I know that it’s myself that’s changed

I feel like I have amnesia

I feel like I have amnesia
