Sleepwalking

Am I aware of who I am?
Or just an animal, following after my next meal
Sleepwalking
If all I do is what I’m told
Am I really alive at all?
Sleepwalking
Guiding me in the night
Chasing after the next meaningless goal
Sleepwalking
One step at a time
Until something wakes me up
From this daytime nightmare
Sleepwalking
Until I awake
And break free from everything known
