Empty Cage Lyrics

There's something wrong with my brain
I can't remember your name or barely even your face
It's all begun to decay
It's all fading away like the light from the day
I can't seem to separate the real from the fake
I can't seem to separate
It all seems to fade away
I can't seem to separate
It all seems to fade away

I want my mind back
Want the time that I lack before I bite the dust and only see black
I want to go back to when I had a firm
Grasp cause I'm scared of what I'll feel last
Old age has torn me down but I won't give up now
I wrote it down, I will pass my story down

Oh it takes me over, my mind is an empty cage
All the things I meant to say but can't seem to separate
Oh it takes me over, lost time now I lost your name
I'll write it down, I'll be around
Don't let me fade away

I used to be strong back in the day,
Wanted everybody to remember my name
But now my body's decayed and I'm stuck where I stay
I'm forgetting things that use to be bright as day
I want my mind back
Want the time that I lack before I bite the dust and only see black
I want to go back to when I had a firm
Grasp cause I 'm scared of what I'll feel last

Oh it takes me over, my mind is an empty cage
All the things I meant to say but can't seem to separate
Oh it takes me over, lost time now I lost your name
I'll write it down, I'll be around
Don't let me fade away

Though I seem to have lost my mind,
I'll carry on through my children's eyes
Legends never die so I will see the end of time
Legends never die
I'll carry on through my children's eyes

It takes me over
If I don't come back again please carry me
All the things I meant to say but lost a race to my decay
It takes me over, the darkness that grows over my brain
If I don't come back again will you carry one for me?

Oh it takes me over, my mind is an empty cage
All the things I meant to say but can't seem to separate
Oh it takes me over, lost time now I lost your name
I'll write it down, I'll be around
Don't let me fade away
