It's morning and I'm awake

My soul's been chosen not to take

I feel like I've been asleep for years

Rolling out of bed



It's midday, it's afternoon

Seems like it's gotten here too soon

I'm still in my underwear

Listening to "The Weight"



It's evening and I'm alive

No bruises or abrasions outside

No bones protruding through my skin

What a wonderful way

For the day to end



And then I see the colors

Pressing up on my eyes

And I want to live until I die
