lyrics

smell of disinfectant and a saline drip
looking for the man that i had grown up with
inside the hazes a history of faces
a mental fortress lock without a key
reliving younger years up on repeat
photographs of strangers spread out on the tables
an empty bedframe where your lover lived
she died in april but you dont know it
no you dont know it

every time i see you im looking for the real you
i know you know me i can tell you know me
deep down inside you where you used to know me
making visits on the weekends
up on the third floor in residential care
are you content in being unaware?
i long for the moment when it triggers,
when you tell me that you love me
and then it fades away
what if you never remember me one day?

memory
it is a fragile thing
are you yourself without it? will you be you without it?
momentarily
you break out of your cage
and recognise me only in what is temporary
and now the present is your past
the distant memories theyre the ones that last
your military stripes and your football vest
is this a lens into my future?
how much of you is now a part of me?
will I endure this sickness that I see?
will it take my

memory
it is a fragile thing
are you yourself without it? would you be you without it?
momentarily
you break out of your cage
and recognise me only in what is temporary

memory
it is a fragile thing
