Gone But Still Here Lyrics

Times gone by and long ago, blurred sketches in my mind
Sometimes there’s a humble hint of things I left behind
Celebrating days of clarity, few are they and rare
Family agnosia, not knowing who is there

Crushing diagnosis
Strangers all around
Memory Corroding
I am lost - not found
Gone, but still here

Wife and children sorrowing, past anchors of my life
Photographic fading, oblivion’s sharp knife
Mirrors staring back at me, faces I don’t know
Friendly people, furtive weeping, welcome to the show

Crushing diagnosis
Strangers all around
Memory Corroding
I am lost - not found
Gone, but still here

Taking off to Neverland, hazy slave new world
Nothing left inside of me - I am in the dark

Fast forgetting, mind diminished, everyone’s farouche
Have to recall to breathe, to eat, unaware of truth
Demise of neural tissue, synaptic ricochet
She tells me she will care, who is she anyway?

Crushing diagnosis
Strangers all around
Memory Corroding
I am lost - not found
Gone, but still here

Gone, but still here

Forgetting year by year
