lyrics

I am awake!
Where am I?
What could this be?
The vastness torments me
I begin to recognize shapes
My instincts tell me to investigate
The world that surrounds me!
And so I ask why?
How could this be?
Circles of light are following me
One in pure darkness one too bright to see!
Celestial bodies beckoning me for their worship!
Encased, I’m held down
No I’m free but with no control
Over my extremities
Figures begin to crowd around me
Strange sounds coming from every direction

I can’t process what I'm feeling anymore
For I’ve exhausted all that I could muster
Energy is harder to produce in this worthless body

Why can’t I manipulate my own mannerisms?
Am I fully complete?
I feel alone, lost to my dreams!

I have begun to fear my environment,
My inability to escape forces me to question everything
And Although! Your face seems so familiar
I can sense that there’s more to me!

Once it was warm and rather dark my memories had left me,
Fragments of soul remain
They are the foundation for the next life I hope to lead.

I begin to recognize shapes
I'm intrigued by the various features in your face
Lines coming through the mist
Revealed to me
I'm exhumed from this enclosure
