[Intro]
The room keeps shrinking by the hour
White coats measure what I lose
A paper cup, a fading monitor
And nothing left to prove
[Verse 1]
You used to leave your coat here
By the rusted kitchen door
Now the house has learned your footsteps
And forgets them more and more
I count the pills beside the window
Like small moons I cannot name
Every morning takes a piece of me
Every night repeats the blame
[Pre-Chorus]
If I disappear slowly
Will anybody know?
If my hands stop reaching
Will you let the silence grow?
[Chorus]
I am losing hope in a body giving out
Calling your name, but the sound won’t leave my mouth
When the last light breaks and the hospital goes still
Will you carry my memory, or forget me when you will?
I was someone to somebody
Now I’m only time to kill
[Verse 2]
The photographs are turning yellow
Faces soften at the seams
You promised we would face forever
But forever left the room with me
I hear your life beyond the doorway
Coffee cups and passing cars
While I become a locked-up bedroom
And a story told too far
[Pre-Chorus]
If I disappear slowly
Will anybody know?
If my voice becomes a whisper
Will you miss it when it’s gone?
[Chorus]
I am losing hope in a body giving out
Calling your name, but the sound won’t leave my mouth
When the last light breaks and the hospital goes still
Will you carry my memory, or forget me when you will?
I was someone to somebody
Now I’m only time to kill
[Bridge]
[Screamed]
Don’t let me die twice!
Don’t let me die twice!
[Clean]
Once in this failing body
Then inside the minds I loved
If my name falls out of your mouth
Was I ever enough?
[Breakdown]
You can bury the fever
You can bury the pain
But the worst kind of dying
Is being erased
[Screamed]
Erase me!
Erase me!
[Final Chorus]
I am losing hope as the ceiling fades to white
Your hand is not here, and I am running out of fight
When the last light breaks and the hospital goes still
Will you carry my memory, or forget me when you will?
I was someone to somebody
Please remember me still
[Outro]
The room keeps shrinking by the hour
The monitor loses time
If you loved me, say my name now
Before it leaves mine
