I'm Awake

How many times have you taken advice from a man who hates?

Seemingly selfishless sentiments hiding his war paint

How many nights have you loaid awake fearing the next crusade

Did you sleep well last night

What will it take?

The clock on the wall it sees everything

And I worry 'bout it 'cause

It's tick tick ticking opn

It's just ticking away

And I wake

And I want to say

That I'm done with the sleeping

And all is fine

And I wake and

I'm standing here

If it's not a dream

Then I can't believe

That I'm awake

I see a place where the houses are all just exactly alike

All of the cars are one color and there's only one type

Each has the same dog and same cat and same fucking tank of fish

Dinner's the same time and all the same dish

The clock on the wall it sees everything

And I worry 'bout it 'cause

It's tick tick ticking opn

It's just ticking away

And I wake

And I want to say

That I'm done with the sleeping

And all is fine

And I wake and

I'm standing here

Waiting for the day

When we open our eyes

And I wake

And it seems to me

That's it's all or it's nothing

Are we so blind

And I say

Hey is it time to see

This is not a dream

And I can't believe that I'm awake

How many times have you taken advice from a man who hates?

Did you sleep well last night

What will it take?

And I wake

And I want to say

That I'm done with the sleeping

And all is fine

And I wake and

I'm standing here

Waiting for the day

That we open our eyes

And I wake

And it seems to me

That's it's all or it's nothing

Are we so blind

And I say

Hey is it time to see

And I can't believe

That we're standing here

With our hands on our eyes and ears hoping it goes away

This is not a dream

This is not a dream

This is not a dream
