To The Man You Are Today


 

With a flash the memories are gone

A Dozen of cars crashed them all

Holding your hand and biting your lips

Is that the terror that comes within?

 

On your wrist it shows

Your diagnosis for all that don’t know

 

The cops took you away

They don’t know what to say

You were harmless needed help

Having a seizure it should tell

 

Now out of surgery you have changed

To the man you are today

No more hope but fear inside

Lost love between the lies
