Alive

please tell me the meaning
the reason
the point
that the law forsakes the blessing of death
I am alive
picking up the pieces
of another shame and disgrace
boiling a million festering wounds
I pray I don't sleep tonight
I am alive
rowing upon the ocean
in a Pontiac of happiness
so metallic
with the poison in my veins
I am alive
please tell me the meaning
the reason
the point
I woke up today
I awoke at all
I hit the pipe and I am reminded
I am alive
