Finally I awoke, under a blanket of salt
And I crawled up from the beach
I saw the things I’d sang about
And found them out of reach
The sky, the stars,
The times I’d forgotten,
Were looking down on me
But as I dried upon the rocks,
I realized I was free
The pavement is burning my feet
I’ve never felt so alive
