[Hook]

Save my soul
From what may be
Everything that I hold close
Has faded away

So give me
That final choice
Give me freedom
Or give me an early grave

[Verse 1]

I feel like I'm wasting time
Waiting on this thing we call life
Death cannot come any sooner
Can it, my old friend?

My bones have become so frail
My eye sight is going too
And I wonder how long it will be
Until it finally ends

[Bridge]
I feel my memories fade
Answers that I'll only forget
To questions I ask
That's something that I expect

[Hook]

[Verse 2]

Been so long since I felt joy
Back to when I was just a boy
That's all that I remember
Every now and then

I wanna see my wife again
I haven't seen her in so long
They say I saw her yesterday
The folks in blue always say

[Bridge 2]

I don't need help today!
You need to just get away!
Where's my family?
Some day, they'll set me free!
[Hook]

[Verse 3]

Have to wonder 'bout the things that go through his head
He gets so snappy, wish he would be calm instead
His family couldn't afford to keep him cared for
So his outbursts are what we are prepared for
He walks alone, 'round the home, every single breath he breathes
Speaking words and sentences to someone only he can see
We help him understand things, but I don't think he can
So confused, sometimes he'll urinate where he stands!

His wife died years ago, time with her he wants investin' in
But we cannot tell him or he'll get so depressed again
If he's denied being let outside, he's gets so livid
Only calm when his children and their families visit
I see in his eyes that's he's hurting like an injury
Wish I had the power to put him out of his misery
A malfunctioning brain inside a rusty shell
But I'm just a carer, doing what I can and must to help

[Hook 2]

Save his soul
From what he's become
Everything that he holds close
Has faded away
Hope that soon
He will escape
And have some freedom
During his final days
