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)
