Still Here (orientated) - Joseph Kerschbaum

Still Here (orientated) Lyrics

My sight has evacuated,
Fleeing from the sterile white light shining down onto my supposed corpse,
This was not what was supposed to be,
I am not supposed to be here now,
But I've arrived.
Or have I returned?
For a few select moments, the world was the womb and I was safely standing outside with a scalpel.
That black take of death before birth, birth before death coated me, I was warm,
I was gone.
My throat feels like an auto accident,
My teeth are open nerves and my skin is a forest burning down.
The doctors keep talking.
I'm not understanding anything.
The flesh I tried to leave behind hunted me down,
And pulled me out of the Lost and Found.
