Wake

There was a death in the family
Now I’m thinking of my own mortality
Infinite time before and after this life that I lead
Being honest
It’s hard not to feel insignificant
I don’t think that there’s anything after this
Just sleep, just sleep
I approach death the same
Restless until the end
Until without noticing one takes me over
I am petrified of unconsciousness far more than I am of death
It’s the uncertainty
Will I wake again?
Will I wake again?
This year marks the end of my act one
My opening scene is done
Will I wake again?
Will I wake again?
This year marks the end of my act one
My opening scene is done
Will I wake again?
Will I wake again?
This year marks the end of my act one
My opening scene is done
When I sleep the last time
I don’t think it’ll be like every night just staring at the same damn ceiling
Waiting for something to happen
Will I wake again?
Will I wake again?
When I’m dead
Burn my body and bury the ashes
Forget me like dreams never remembered
I am flesh
I am bone
I was never here
I was the back of your eyes
The dreams of love and fire mask
Until we’re cold and the fire is gone
