Song About I AM

emergency
lights and sirens flashing and blaring
eyes alight, so very very like
a night without the chance for life
a parole with nowhere to go.
emergency
with broken bones and scattered teeth
and like a dutch boy with fingers in the levee
life's blood slips through holes
between these fingers' tenacious hold

as things go dark behind my eyelids
i am asks am i satisfied with how i lived
and i am not, no
no i am not.

emergency
the enemy's at battle stations ready
torpedoes out the chute and already heading
i do not want to be alone when i die
i want to close my eyes and wake up alive
emergency
i have not yet written about the golden streets
and starlight, star bright, i'm oh so weak
i am oh so infected by popularity
i can barely breathe, and

as things go dark behind my eyelids
i am asks am i satisfied with how i lived
and i am not, no
no i am not.

i should have stood up and screamed
but only silence
i should have stood up and screamed
that i am is truth and to know is life
and to die is gain.
