Awakening

Reckless abandon

The vultures grin as they’re ripping me limb from limb

Drain the blood

Cut me up

Slit my throat

Bells will toll

What a fine day for a funeral

Velvet rivers flow in crimson form

The undertaker pays his due

Corpse lips kissed in purple-blue

Darker than the darkness

I am the shadow

Life is all it ever meant

Death has never been the end

Drowning in chemicals

Forsaken by my kin

Here I am, here I am

My eyes awaken

Here I am, here I am

Alive but not breathing

Floating

Abandoning my body

Tell me, is this meant to be?

Surely I'm dead

What a fine day for the fake sorrows

Handshakes and frowns

The same as it ever was

What do they mean?

What would you say?

Here I am, here I am

My eyes awaken

Here I am, here I am

Alive but not breathing

No vessel, no body

The blood runs dry

My last drink of formaldehyde

No vessel, no body

I’m petrified

Can you carry on?

I’ll carry on

Darker than the darkness

I am the shadow

Life is all it ever meant

Death has never been the end
