Alive and Well
November 3, 2011
We lay still
I feel you breathing
I feel you thinking
I feel your pity
Your mind has moved on
We lay still
Carry my lifeless eyes
Hold my cold hands
Run your fingers
Across my heavy skin
We lay still
Catch me
Don’t let me fall
Lend me a home
I lay still
My veins have run dry
My heart beats for no one
And still
This is the closest to alive that I’ll ever be
