lyrics

What is going on within me?
My body's growing weak and my mind is trying to escape
Please, tell me this is as bad as it gets
Tell me how long this will last

I watch my loved ones leave me behind everyday
Without a second look in my direction
Without me, they walk out that door

I can't believe I trusted you with my life
A mother's love should know no bounds
You're leaving me here to die
And the world felt so far away when you said those words to me
The world felt so far away

Watch what you say
Anything can be arranged

I've been scared, I've been brave
All alone in this cage

After 2 years I've woken up
Right in the middle of my worst nightmare
I can see you, I can hear you
If only you knew

My body is my prison
I am painfully aware of everything around me

As my condition deteriorates
I live in fear of a life alone
I lose my senses, my grip on reality
As I fade away

What are the odds?
I save myself and you thank god
I was nothing but a hollow consciousness
But I know what you said
I know you wished for my death

Now you're dead to me
