Going On, Going On lyrics

Awakened by the numbness

In a murky cloud of anesthesia

Where painkillers have slowed

Responses to reality to come

A place where the trauma is alive

But where the brain may not remember

But its shadows are seen on them

In their faces and their twitches

Then rude reality steps in

The terrible nightmare, the fate

It becomes real, it is horror

The terror of truth, unacceptable

A place of denial and phantom pains

A place where the mind does not want

To believe what the soul wishes

To be intact, knowing it is fantasy

Wishing it would go away, no it can't be

To awaken, to shake off this dreadful lot

Between pleading, denial, and anger

Beyond bargaining, to awaken whole

Why me, to feel guilt for sins

Atonement God's destined judgment

Pleading that it might go away

All a terrible dream, if only to arise

Anger at the doctors for doing it

Irate at the world for this great harm

A defeat in life, unsurpassable

Wanting to die, to curl up, to fade away

Life goes on, it must...

This facility cannot keep hidden

A purpose must be found...

There must be hope, there must be

Here there divulge two roads

They slowly go apart, destined so

Decisions small, directions variance

The positive way, the negative fair

To lose extremities yet climb in

A bottle, to numb the pain of living

In the destructive substances of self pity

Quitting easily, living excuses

To excell with prosthetic aid

Achieving more than if ordinary

An entirely different prospective

Knowing better true limitations

Humility of self, living in peace

Appreciative and sensing life's gifts

Knowing weakness, steadied pride

Accomplishing, obsticles crumble

Still succeeding...

Going on, going on
