Alone At The Wake

A Poem by Passingdaze

Written in the blood of angels
Swimming in the wreckage left for me
Blistered skin melts away
Reveals something that you'll never seek

Tranquility (Repeat)

To be alive
Is to face down your demise
To be free
Is to finally let your eyes see

To want to die
Is to drift through this world blind
To be free
Is to finally let your eyes see

We reap what we sow (Repeat)

Our ending is written in carnage
A cruel joke that never made much sense

Reveal your true self to me...

To want to die
Is to drift through this world blind
To be free
Is to finally let your eyes see

And when this breath departs
We will shatter and fade away
When this life is over
We will all die the same

Battered & broken (Repeat)

Open up your eyes
And see things for what they are (Repeat out)

I had to deal with death a lot the past few years, and your song reflects many of my own thoughts and feelings. I think the hardest thing for me was the passing of my son. Well written poem/song. Thank you for sharing. Debileah
