How far away is sleep now

In between the sheets its 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 wouldnt do



I feel like I am naked

An emperor without his clothes

And still my hands are shaking

Broken with an overdose

On chemicals Im burning

Drunk deadly and old

And still theres something here

That leaves me cold



Chorus:

Shes awake now

I know that shes awake now

Im awake now

She knows that Im awake now

Were awake now

We know that it is over

And it is obvious now

Still were waiting



Close enough to smell it

Take a deep breath relax

Out upon the stairway

Its frozen and it shines like glass

Weve been sleeping through September

And were brittle as the frozen grass

And still I think I know Im coming back



Chorus



What if Im wrong?

I could be wrong...
