Falling Awake

Eagle in the dark

Feathers in the pages

Monkeys in my heart

Rattling their cages

Found a way to blooom

Another ghost to follow

Said its only up to you

It's the hardest pill to swallow



Mmmmmhmmmmmhhhmmm



You never get to choose

You live on what they send you

You know the kind of use

Things you love will get you

One foot in the grave

One foot in the shower

There's never time to save

You're paying by the hour



And that's just the way it goes

Falling awake

And that's just the way it goes



Slipping through the bars

Aware of the danger

Of riding in the cars

Taking candy from strangers

You're never out of hand

Never out of pocket

Super sonic man

Do you want to buy a rocket



Well that's just the way it goes

Falling awake

Falling awake

And that's just the way it goes

Falling awake

Falling awake



Eagle in the dark

Feathers in the pages

Monkeys in my heart

Are rattling their cages

I could learn to play the game

Learn to run the hustle

If I only had the brains

The money or the muscle
