Anybody in Here?

Is there anybody in here, still
Anybody familiar, anybody I recognize
As the survivor I used to be
Or at least used to call myself?

What happened to that pit bull
That anger-infused action trait
That got me out of bed and proving
That I could beat the hell out of

Any thing, or person, or happenstance
That thought it could hold me down?
That thought it could take the sound
Out of the world, the music, out of the world?

Is there anybody in here, still
Who had way too much energy to spend
Sitting on the couch all day
Wondering what was going on out there?

Is there anybody in here, still?
