Memory in Ashes

Abismo Cavado e Medicado

Forgot your name, but still feel the emptiness
Of the chair always empty on your birthday
No one comes, no one calls
Just the nurse changing shifts

You became a burden, no longer family
Deposited, forgotten, leftover on the schedule

Memory in ashes
Every day one piece less
Memory in ashes
And whoever should remember is gone

The system has no beds, no care
Just a line and a protocol number
And when the body forgets to breathe
No one will notice the extra silence

Memory in ashes
Every day one piece less
Memory in ashes
And whoever should remember is gone

Those who cared for you when you were everything
Now lose themselves alone in their own name
Memory in ashes
The last face you forgot was your own

Every day one piece less
