Watching my grandmother slowly lose her memory (and more) to the point where she couldn't even recognize my any longer is the inspiration here. The gradual loss of all of her relationships from her long life - as her mind quieted down, for good.

Lyrics
wide awake and still i wait here for a change
with every reason to pretend still so far away
and everything i lose reminds me all that was before
is just a whisper now
if all i do is wait for you i find
i slip into the quiet disillusion in my mind
while i wait for you i'll find
all i do is wait for you and find...
hide away inside a thought or memory
with all these hours to befriend the empty that remains
and everything i choose to focus on for just a while
becomes a shadow now
if all i do is wait for you i find
i slip into the quiet disillusion in my mind
while i wait for you i'll find
all i do is wait for you and find...
run away into a distant memory
rot away... just leave me here to be
and all i do is wait for you and i'll find
i slip into the quiet disillusion in my mind
while i wait for you i'll find
i slip away. i slip away inside
all i do is wait for you and find...
