How far away is sleep now

In between the sheets itґs 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 wouldnґt do

I feel like I am naked

An emperor without his clothes

And still my hands are shaking

Broken with an overdose

On chemicals Iґm burning

Drunk deadly and old

And still thereґs something here

That leaves me cold

Chorus:

Sheґs awake now

I know that sheґs awake now

Iґm awake now

She knows that Iґm awake now

Weґre awake now

We know that it is over

And it is obvious now

Still weґre waiting

Close enough to smell it

Take a deep breath relax

Out upon the stairway

Itґs frozen and it shines like glass

Weґve been sleeping through September

And weґre brittle as the frozen grass

And still I think I know Iґm coming back

Chorus

What if Iґm wrong?

I could be wrong...
