How far away is sleep now
In between the sheets its cool
Hidden under blankets of plastic and cellophane blue
The temperature is rising
And I will fake a fever too
There are still so many things I wouldnt do
I feel like I am naked
An emperor without his clothes
And still my hands are shaking
Broken with an overdose
On chemicals Im burning
Drunk deadly and old
And still theres something here
That leaves me cold
Chorus:
Shes awake now
I know that shes awake now
Im awake now
She knows that Im awake now
Were awake now
We know that it is over
And it is obvious now
Still were waiting
Close enough to smell it
Take a deep breath relax
Out upon the stairway
Its frozen and it shines like glass
Weve been sleeping through September
And were brittle as the frozen grass
And still I think I know Im coming back
Chorus
What if Im wrong?
I could be wrong...
