Awake(ning)

Awake in the darkness all night long Waiting for another day to come I want to dream just one more time I want to go back to my life I want to dream just one more time I want to go back to my life Body and mind not connected anymore Spirit and soul I’m feeling them dying Thoughts and emotions out of control Regret and pain always by my side Why am I living this nightmare? Awake in the darkness all night long ‘Till another day will come Dreaming of flying away From the darkness to the light Chemical and words closed connected to my mind Images and sounds they bring relief Hopes and desires get born anew Leading the way to a brand new light I will escape from this darkness Awake in the darkness all night long ‘Till another day will come Dreaming of flying away From the darkness to the light I have escaped from the darkness to the light Awake in the bright light of a new day Leaving all the dark behind Learning to fly again
