Awakenings

The darkness, the pain
My memories, insane

The darkness, the pain
my memories, insane
Waking up on the wrong side of death
Unable to think, to breathe, to react

I don't know
I don't know why
I don't know why I'm still alive

The milky light of a November sky,
A trembling hand shielding my eyes,
Dragging myself out of a Docklands street,
Can't think of a reason why I'm still on my feet
The darkness, the pain
my memories, insane

I need to know
I need to know why
I need to know why I'm still alive
