I don’t want to be witness Seeing all of this duress Aching of our world Why am I alive now? I don’t want to feel this Aching color of our world Why am I alive now? Watching all this going down All the animals around Watching Nature swoon and sigh Watching all the water dry Watch the sky fall to the Earth Birds and insects looking for a place to hide Why am I alive to watch this duress? Why am I seeing this stress? Hide me from my disease Why am I alive now Seems there’s nothing left hold Except keep trying to accept Hour after lonely hour Collecting my mind How did I arrive here? I don’t know much of anything Except that you will take my life I don’t know why I don’t want to see your face Meeting me when it’s too late Many people falling Many people sighing Once everything was a part of me How did I come to be? Now everything’s gone to the floor And all I ever want is more Feel the trees begin to leave Smoke swallow each mountain side A rail of tears leads to the sea No more footsteps in the sand All our memories are sinking Into un-living I don’t know Why am I alive here? I don’t know much of anything I don’t know I don’t know why I’m alive now!
