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
