All You Will Remember

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
Facеs I've known and loved replacеd by masks of shame
If I could tell you one thing through this heavy sunken mist
It would be that I'm 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
