Six years, it took me down stream to where I lay
Caught in a shockwave of debilitating waste
Amongst the rubble and the trouble I was in ...
I felt the need to begin - So I dug in
And after so long, I'm awake
Six years of waiting for the embers to return
To set the fires like the ones in memory burn
The king who waited watched his kingdom turn to ash
on a throne of indecision, anchored to the past
Now, after so long, I'm awake
I'm so awake
My eyes are open
Feel my fingers, taste the air and count my toes
Think of all the things that you now know
So you can go
