Half Awake, Half Gone

Text:
Intro (spoken, Jim-like male voice):
L.A. sun burns through my bones,
streets look the same, but I’m alone.
Walked into a bank, said: “I’m Jim Morrison.”
They laughed.
Guess credit’s not eternal, huh?

Verse 1 (Jim, half sung male voice):
No money, no fame, no flame in my hand,
just ghosts of songs and desert sand.
They threw me out, said I’m a fraud,
but I’m still the lizard, I’m still god.

Bridge (spoken, walking on Skid Row, male voice):
The city hums like a broken prayer,
neon saints and lost souls everywhere.
I hear a beat, I hear a choir —
they’re burning sound, they’re lighting fire.

Chorus (Gospel choir + rap beat):
🔥 Come on baby, light that fire again,
we turn your pain into gold, my friend.
From Skid Row streets to heaven’s choir,
we keep that soul alive, higher and higher.

Verse 2 (rap, male voice):
Yo, old man say he’s Morrison,
from the doors, before the wars begun,
told him — this 2025,
no one survives unless they vibe.

You had the fire, we got the flame,
now we remix your holy name.
From blues to trap, from church to street,
we make the dead get on their feet.

Chorus (big, gospel-funk energy):
Light my fire, oh set me free,
the past and present in harmony.
No stars, no fame, no wired desire,
just a soul reborn — in the choir of fire.

Bridge (spoken by Jim, emotional):
I thought I’d be a legend forever,
but forever’s just another word for gone.

Then I heard the street sing back to me —
“Man, your song still lives on.”

Breakdown (DJ scratch + choir riffing):
Fire, fire, light that fire!
Old souls, new blood, lift it higher!
(repeated with beats, bass, brass stabs)

Final Chorus (all voices, massive energy):
Come on baby, light my fire,
the world still needs that burning choir.
From Skid Row to the sky above,
we light the dark with human love.

Outro (Jim whispering):
I guess…
the fire never died.
It just… changed hands.

(crowd cheering, gospel outro, brass fade out)

Light My Fire (Again)
