Lyrics Assemblage 23

Assemblage 23

Naked

Awake aware alone

Lost and far from home

I walk without these walls

So there is less to fall

I am naked

I have nothing left

My bones are picked clean

And riddled with regrets

Nothing can touch me

I've nothing left to take

For I am naked

But I can never break

Bombarded by brutal events

Like the rays of a sun

Knocked to my knees

By the waves that continued to come

Each time I rise to my feet

I am knocked to the ground

But I am an element

Nothing can break me down

Link after link in a chain

Pulling hard at my limbs

The search party's lost now

The outlook is growing dim

Praying for wisdom

There's nobody left to impart

But I am an atom

And nothing can take me apart
