I just can't get enough

And it's there like a freezing cloud

-And I open my eyes
-I'm not moving
-White as a ghost
-And stiff as a gun
-And I wake up my senses
Questioning the nature of existence, wondering if the described state is akin to being dead.
And I push all the stars from my head
-Is this what it's like to be dead
