All You Will Remember

(альбом: Páthos - 2022)

I know the end awaits
I'll be gone long before it
Please know this isn't me
You know this isn't me

Words turn to bile
Disgust lingers on my tongue
As I barely keep down
Your saccharine poison

This is not my home
This is not a place I know
I will traipse through mud and murk
And escape to where?

Someday, I will forget everything
And it's all you will remember
We disappear into a fog that just won't seem to clear
This isn't me, this isn't me

Thoughts come to me like whispers and then they vanish just the same
Faces I have known and loved replaced by masks of shame
If I could tell you one thing through this heavy sunken mist
It would be that I am gone, I no longer exist

But the words are lost on me, they sound, but I don't hear
They disappear into a fog that just won't seem to clear
I'd do anything to prevent what I'm putting you through
But I don't know who you are or who I am to you

I never thought that the letters of your name would now escape me
Or that I'd ever gaze upon my child, a stranger

I promise I won't forget you
I promise I won't forget
I promise I won't
I promise I...
