Among the Waking

"Welcome back," and my neck cracked As I return to life "How have you been? Is everything alright?" Am I alive? Am I among the waking? On this starry night, these last few months seem like dreams Nightmares of a better life, it seems Shining bright, my life alights And I'm back in the flame After what I've lived, I hardly mind the pain Am I alive? Am I among the waking? The death of another chapter of my life I made it through, and everything's alright And once again, the heat will end And life follows suit Leaves of brown, cradle my every step Am I alive? Am I among the waking? Life and death, the story of these last four years Death and rebirth, a cycle I've always held dear
