Welcome to the here and now
Running from the gentle claws of sleep
I’ve walked through fire
And too many things stroke me deep

The lights are out. can you see the ashes in the snow?
You can go through so much more than you can think
On the road again, but not sure, where to go
My thoughts for you will be gone when I’m out of ink

I’ve rolled like a stone from the hill
And crawled up again
I’ve been forced to lie, I’ve been forced to kneel
And I nearly thought all was in vain
I’m tired, but I won’t sleep
I don’t want to watch my life fade away
I will stand up, fall, crawl and creep
But forwards - here I’m not going to stay
Will I burn out and rot away?
I’m trying not to be broken by fear
Will someone remember my name?
I don’t know. but now I’m here
...still here
