Mind In A Box - Amnesia lyrics

rate me

I can see myself tucked in and fast asleep<br />

Looking all peaceful but in my dreams I weep<br />

From far up I'm looking down upon myself<br />

And I wonder who it is that's lying there<br />

<br />

I feel like in a world all beside myself<br />

Afraid I won't wake up with no one there to care<br />

<br />

I know someone used to watch me in my sleep<br />

But some things seem just impossible to keep<br />

I fight hard to bring it back into my mind<br />

But to no use, it all seems to be a blank<br />

<br />

I wonder what it was that had me defined<br />

But one thing I know, I have myself to thank<br />

<br />

I feel like I have amnesia<br />

But I know it's myself I've lost<br />

I wonder what's happened so far<br />

And what might have been the cost<br />

<br />

I'm not sure I want to know<br />

Any of the things I've done<br />

I don't know yet where to go<br />

But I'll accept my past is gone<br />

<br />

I feel like I have amnesia<br />

And I've missed the heavenly host<br />

I'm surprised I've come this far<br />

Living without what I need most<br />

<br />

I don't think I can go back<br />

To the things that were before<br />

Though I'm now always wearing black<br />

I don't bemoan my life of yore<br />

<br />

I wake up and feel like I should be at home<br />

But I do not know this, it's not where I belong<br />

My head is dazed and my mind is all confused<br />

And I'm not quite sure that I'm really there<br />

<br />

But the mirror shows me looking out, bemused<br />

Into a blank place that could be anywhere<br />

<br />

I feel like I have been left out in the cold<br />

And it hurts to know that this is all my fault<br />

I leave this place to find familiar ground<br />

But the whole world seems to have been rearranged<br />

<br />

Now my former self is nowhere to be found<br />

And I know that it's myself that's changed<br />

<br />

I feel like I have amnesia<br />

But I know it's myself I've lost<br />

I wonder what's happened so far<br />

And what might have been the cost<br />

<br />

I'm not sure I want to know<br />

Any of the things I've done<br />

I don't know yet where to go<br />

But I'll accept my past is gone<br />

<br />

I feel like I have amnesia<br />

And I've missed the heavenly host<br />

I'm surprised I've come this far<br />

Living without what I need most<br />

<br />

I don't think I can go back<br />

To the things that were before<br />

Though I'm now always wearing black<br />

I don't bemoan my life of yore<br />

<br />

I feel like I have amnesia<br />

I feel like I have amnesia
