Deadly Dull Movements

[Verse 1]
This is the story of a man that I know
A man with a heart of gold
But a body becoming weak
And a mind that let him go

This is the story of a man and his wife
And how she died of that same disease
How he stayed with her after her spirit left
But he won't remember her death and

[Pre-Chorus]
It's a deadly dull
Like a sword stuck in its sheath
A mind once sharp and full
Now clouded and diseased

[Chorus]
What's it like to be erased every time you fall asleep?
Waking up as a clean slate without a sense of reality?
And will I end up the same way when I grow old and turn to grey?
As time leaves me behind to fade away, away

[Verse 2]
This is the story of a man that I know
He knows my face but he doesn't know me
Pretends he does every time we meet
And puts his questions on repeat
