Boxes and baskets of all her old things

Porcelain dolls, portrait paintings

She swore they'd be worth something

They're just gathering dust in my attic somewhere

And she's lost in a room where she sits and she stares

Her mind as blank as the walls

Her memory as vacant as the halls

Chorus:

I'm the only daughter of her oldest son

I knew her well before her spirit was gone

And her life is a thread woven into every part of me

She is unraveling, she is unraveling

She looks in my eyes and asks me my name

Every five minutes I tell her the same

She smiles but it's cold and dead

And I'm screaming out loud in my head

Chorus repeats

I tried to pull her back

Stories and photographs of her sisters and brothers, her children who love her

She can't remember but how could a heart forget?

Chorus repeats

I've been tearing through boxes on nights I can't sleep

Searching for memories of who she used to be
