An entire world at hand

A lost mind in the fight

No sense of direction

Nowhere to hide

Red in tooth and claw

Perpetual violence

Unrelenting assault

With only instinct guiding me

Red in tooth and claw

Unrelenting assault

Is this the only way to

Survive

I open my eyes I realize

Space between the body and mind

In spite of revelation

I'm compelled to persist

The pursuit of wisdom forsaken

I fight to exist

I find myself in a world

Propelled by the force of my own will

Scratching out a life with my own two hands

No time for seeking clarity

In this never ending scarcity

Survive

I open my eyes I realize

Space between the body and mind

Survival

I open my eyes I realize

Space between the body and mind

Unsafe and unspoken

This is all that I know

A buried identity

I stand alone

Survive

I open my eyes I realize

What else can be made of this life
