Am I awake?
What time is it?
When I get through this day
Can someone tell me how
And how much longer now
Am I awake?
The coffee's cold, did I forget to drink it yet
Did I forget?
My clothes are wet I don't remember drinking it
When I get through this part
Will the next one be the same
Will I be wondering
If I'm awake?
These are not the clothes I had on when I went to bed
And something else besides my hair is growing from my head
And when I close my eyes it looks the same as when I open them again
Am I awake?
What time is it?
Is it that time again?
Wasn't it already then?
So does it have to be
The time it was again
When I get through the day
Can't someone tell me how
And how much longer now
Am I awake?
Am I awake?
When I get through this day
Can someone tell me how
And how much longer now
Am I awake?
When I get through this day
Can someone tell me how
And how much longer now
Am I awake?
