"To Live Again"

 TO LIVE AGAIN

 In the dark of the night

 In the thin hours of the morning

 Alone with my thoughts

 Alone with the burden

 I’ve been here before

 Now I lie alone

 I’ve seen myself die

 Do I have the strength to live again

 Should I think only of myself

 Or do you wish this of me too

 I don’t know what to do

 I feel myself shaking

 To live once again

 Are they my dreams

 Or my nightmares

 Or just one in the same

 Do I plunge in again

 Throw my ashes to the wind

 Let the sea cleanse my soul

 Wash one life away

 Continue in another

 It is mine to take

 It is yours to give

 Do I take the chance

 Is it there to begin with

 Do I have the strength to live again

 Will I feel it happen

 I just dream of something

 In a hope that will never come

 I just dread of something

 In a hope that it is going to come

 I hold my breath

 I can breathe again

 Anticipation of my only prayer

 Please, I hold my breath

 Let me live again

 I am cold

 I am alone

 I am alive

 To my knowledge

 I breathe

 Lost to all the lessons I have learned

 I must learn again

 I am alive

 Though the ones that I love

 The faces I knew

 Drift passed me unfeeling

 The memories are mine

 I do not recall

 They elude me

 Though my presence

 I feel is real

 In the dark of the night

 In the thin hours of the morning

 Alone with my thoughts

 Alone with the burden

 I’ve been here before

 Do I have the strength to live again
