[00:14.000]This is the story of a man that I know
[00:19.000]A man with a heart of gold
[00:23.000]But a body becoming weak
[00:26.000]And a mind that let him go
[00:28.000]This is the story of a man and his wife
[00:33.000]And how she died of that same disease
[00:37.000]How he stayed with her after her sprit left
[00:41.000]But he won’t remember her death and
[00:45.000]It’s a deadly dull
[00:48.000]Like a sword stuck in its sheath
[00:51.000]A mind once sharp and full
[00:56.000]Now clouded and diseased
[01:00.000]What’s it like to be erased
[01:04.000]Every time you fall asleep?
[01:08.000]Waking up as a clean slate
[01:11.000]Without a sense of reality?
[01:15.000]And will I end up the same way
[01:19.000]When I grow old and turn to grey?
[01:22.000]As time leaves me behind to fade away, away
[01:42.000]This is the story of a man that I know
[01:47.000]He knows my face but he doesn’t know me
[01:50.000]Pretends he does every time we meet
[01:54.000]And puts his questions on repeat
[01:57.000]Like, “Are you staying out of trouble?”
[01:59.000]”What’s the plan?”
[02:01.000]”Can we go see G-Ma down the street?”
[02:05.000]”When I saw her last she didn’t say much of anything”
[02:09.000]”But if I were there think how much better it would be”
[02:13.000](Life with a heavy soul)
[02:14.000]This break the news a few times a week
[02:17.000]And every time it’s followed by the same thing
[02:20.000](Death by a deadly dull)
[02:21.000]These sits outside and stays quiet for a while
[02:25.000]And forgets and goes to sleep
[02:43.000]It’s a deadly dull
