Enchant - Shell of a Man Lyrics

Woke up all alone, a bed that's cold and sterile

With nothing of my own

Bombarded and explored by faces unfamiliar

Intrusions uncondoned

Cruel thoughts in brief but lucid moments

I'm losing all I've gathered all my years

I wonder why these strangers look so sullen

I wonder what I've done to cause their tears

Swirling in my head, scenes and random memories

Things I might have said

Some of them are clear but none of them involving

Those beside my bed

I thought the golden years were for reflecting

I thought I'd teach my grandson how to cast

I thought I'd be the fireside storyteller

I thought that I would revel in my past

Waking only to see

The shell of a man I used to be

Save me, I don't want to be

A shell of a man

Confidence, autonomy

Taken for granted till they leave

Serenity I counted on

Was mine for a moment now it's gone

Today I'm not alone

She sparks a distant memory

Someone I might have known

She fills me in on things we did together

She says she's loved me since the day we met

She says that even if I don't remember

She will never let herself forget

Waking only to see

The shell of a man I used to be

Save me, I don't want to be

A shell of a man

Waking only to see

The shell of a man I used to be

Save me, I don't want to be

A shell of a man

A shell of a man
