All You Will Remember

I know the end awaits
 I'll be gone long before it
 Please know this isn't me
 You know this isn't me
 Words turn to bile
 Disgust lingers on my tongue
 As I barely keep down
 Your saccharine poison
 This is not my home
 This is not a place I know
 I will traipse through mud and murk
 And escape to where?
 Someday, I will forget everything
 And it's all you will remember
 We disappear into a fog that just won't seem to clear
 This isn't me, this isn't me
 Thoughts come to me like whispers and then they vanish just the same
 Facеs I've known and loved replacеd by masks of shame
 If I could tell you one thing through this heavy sunken mist
 It would be that I'm gone, I no longer exist
 But the words are lost on me, they sound, but I don't hear
 They disappear into a fog that just won't seem to clear
 I'd do anything to prevent what I'm putting you through
 But I don't know who you are or who I am to you
 I never thought that the letters of your name would now escape me
 Or that I'd ever gaze upon my child, a stranger
 I promise I won't forget you
 I promise I won't forget
 I promise I won't
 I promise I
