How far away is sleep now In between the sheets it's 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 wouldn't do I feel like I am naked An emperor without his clothes And still my hands are shaking Broken with an overdose On chemicals I'm burning Drunk deadly and old And still there's something here That leaves my cold She's awake now I know that she's awake now I'm awake now She knows that I'm awake now We're awake now We know that it is over And it is obvious now Still we're waiting Close enough to smell it Take a deep breath relax Out upon the stairway It's frozen and it shines like glass We've been sleeping through September And we're brittle as the frozen glass And still I think I know I'm coming back She's awake now I know that she's awake now I'm awake now She knows that I'm awake now We're awake now We know that it is over And it is obvious now Still we're waiting What if I'm wrong? I could be wrong I could be wrong I could be wrong
