i tell of sleepwalk journeys
that have been my life
some days have been dark
while others have been bright
ive had heartache
ive had loss
with some complications too
i tried to pick a rose
but got the thorn
stuck in my finger

--------------------------------


rise
fall i shall
honor the living
but more
the fortunate dead

-------------------------------


i shall not breathe
i will not live
i have no more time
this is the end
but wait
one second more
im being refilled
with the will to live
i shall breathe
i will live
for my tourniquet
can wait another day
