It used to be so easy, the early days
But my memory just slowly fades
I'm heading on my way
So I make my breakfast to start the day
But I can't remember where I keep the plates
It's a code I just can't break
So I stand alone at the kitchen sink
The growing fear makes it hard to think
Something just ain't right with me
I have a close friend that I go to everyday
Just across the river from the Rose Parade
But just when I think I recognize her face,
I know this mind ain't no normal place
And one quick breath, it makes no sense
But I'm thinking as hard as I can
So to that I'll toast, on this very fine day
In this very place, I'll say
When I find all the things that you hide,
I know I'll need them
When all the things we know may end
I know you'll have them
Every weekend I have some guests
These beautiful children tell me that I'm the best
And I can feel it in my chest
But there's a dark secret that I must confess
This game of "name that kid" is a cruel test
I'm growing further from the rest
So I stand alone in a crowded room
I'm panic stricken and trapped in my tomb
I hope I wake up soon
(repeat chorus)
