lyrics

Aliveness. We are caught with the strange responsibility of assessing ALIVEness. These people that claim to be alive or dead—to what extent do they have real aliveness in our lives? Their picture—staring out at us from the annals of the internet—just as alive or just as dead? That one—I know for a fact that she committed suicide but I hadn’t spoken to her in years. Has her ALIVE-ness in my life changed since her death? And my mother’s ALIVEness; has it grown stronger? My father’s ALIVEness; has it grown weaker, since his physical death? I am not sure. When I send a text message to my mother and she doesn’t call, or an email to my mother and she doesn’t reply, this makes me feel like she might be dead. After all, my father does the same thing, and he IS dead. Aren’t we, alive in these times, perpetually “reachable”? Reachable. Reachable. Reachable. Reachable. Reachable.
