Awake

Coming close into the haze
I’m breathing in and out my lungs
It’s comatose within my veins
A bitter taste along my tongue
Can feel the fire growing
Breaking through the withholding
Feel it in the shadows on my ribs, stained fingertips
I’m holding onto what’s within
I’m rising from ashes
You’re gonna see the smoke rising from the trees
I’m roaring like thunder
I’m gonna shake the earth with all that’s left of me
In the shadows on my skin
You could have seen my fingertips
Bleeding from the scars you gave me
Can we end the dark to break me?
Looking back to who I was
The broken pieces I’d become
Awake the ash under my feet
Ignite the fight that’s left in me
I’m rising from ashes
You’re gonna see the smoke rising from the trees
I’m roaring like thunder
I’m gonna shake the earth with all that’s left of me
Feel it in the shadows on my ribs, stained fingertips
I’m holding onto what’s within
