Awake - Assemblage 23, Imperative Reaction

I am lost

The footprints that I left have disappeared

For now, I am driving blind

Accelerate

Without a destination to welcome me

This road is just an endless loop

Every time I close my eyes

The noise inside me amplifies

I can’t escape

I relive every moment of the day

Every misstep I have made

Finds a way it can invade

My every thought

And this is why I find myself awake

Directionless

The letters on the signs have long since faded

The sky conspires to swallow me

Paid the price

For burning all the maps to warm myself

I threw their ashes to the wind

Every time I close my eyes

The noise inside me amplifies

I can’t escape

I relive every moment of the day

Every misstep I have made

Finds a way it can invade

My every thought

And this is why I find myself awake

Walk away

Time to leave the realm of the familiar

To find a place where sleep can come

Hesitate

For one last time I shout into the sky

To wake the ones I’ll leave behind

Every time I close my eyes

The noise inside me amplifies

I can’t escape

I relive every moment of the day

Every misstep I have made

Finds a way it can invade

My every thought

And this is why I find myself awake

Every time I close my eyes

The noise inside me amplifies

I can’t escape

I relive every moment of the day

Every misstep I have made

Finds a way it can invade

My every thought

And this is why I find myself awake
