DEMENTIA

I'VE BEEN THINKIN' BOUT THE PAST AND HOW SOME THINGS FADE AND SOME THINGS LAST
AND I REMEMBERED A ROSE I'D HUNG IN THE DARK
HOPING I'D FIND IT TO MAYBE LIGHT A SPARK
HOPING I MIGHT REMEMBER YOUR FACE
BUT WHY I WAS IN THAT DARKENED PLACE ?

RUNNING FROM THERE I TRIPPED AND FELL
I WONDERED ALOUD AND SAID 'WHAT THE HELL'?
'WHY AM I HERE'? 'WAS THERE SOMETHING I'D NEED'? 'SOMETHING FOR SOMETHING ~ FOR SOME KIND OF DEED'?

BACK IN MY CHAIR IN THE LIVING ROOM I LOOKED OUT THE WINDOW ~ FINDING PEACE IN THE TREES
FUNNY THING FINDING PEACE IN THE TREES
THEN ~ THERE I WAS ~ DOWN ON MY KNEES
LOOKING FOR SOMETHING ~ LOOKING FOR KEYS 
I THINK IT WAS KEYS ~ IT HAD TO BE KEYS ~ WHAT THE HELL ELSE COULD IT BE?

WHERE THE FUCK IS MY TIE ~ I NEED MY TIE ~ HAVE TO HAVE MY TIE
I CAN'T GO TO WORK WITHOUT MY TIE!
WHY DID SHE DIE ~ HUH? WHY DID SHE DIE? SHE LEFT ME ALONE ~ SHE LEFT ME HERE ~ WENT ON HER MERRY OLD WAY
LEFT ME A ROSE ~ THAT SHE DID ~ I REMEMBER A ROSE ~ A BEAUTIFUL ROSE ~ LEFT TO DRY
WHERE IS THAT ROSE? THOUGHT I SAW THAT ROSE
CAN YOU HELP ME LOOK? I NEED TO FIND THAT ROSE ~ OH, WHY DID SHE DIE? SHE WOULD KNOW JUST WHERE TO FIND THAT ROSE

CHILDREN ARE LAUGHING ~ COME TO SING AND PLAY ~ MAKING ME SMILE ON THIS GLORIOUS DAY

WHO IS THAT MAN? MAKE HIM STOP ALL THAT NOISE! I CAN'T HARDLY THINK WITH THAT DAMNED FUCKING NOISE!
GET THESE PEOPLE OUT OF HERE ~ I DIDN'T INVITE THEM ~ I DON'T WANT THEM HERE!
WHERE AM I GOING ~ DO WE HAVE TO GO VERY FAR?

SITTING HERE ~ LOOKING AT TREES ~ FINDING PEACE IN THE TREES ~ FUNNY THING FINDING PEACE IN THE TREES ~ FUNNY THING ~ I REMEMBER A ROSE
I REMEMBER A ROSE ~ BUT NOT HER FACE ~ JUST NOT HER FACE
DON'T TELL YOUR MOTHER ~ BUT ~ I CAN'T REMEMBER HER FACE

CHILDREN ARE LAUGHING ~ COME TO SING AND PLAY ~ MAKING ME SMILE ON THIS GLORIOUS DAY
