Waking Up
Awoken at six,
Fifteen minutes under rain
Take the time to realize
That what I felt was pain
Fractured images fight their way
Through broken hearts and dreams
Look around, distorted lives
Nothing’s ever how it seems
The stretch of world peace is
Deflating by the hour
Everyone will talk of change
But tell me who’ the coward
Stroke the strings and play the anthem
To yet another day
Bench press all the wait you want
It won’t sustain a change
Bartender of human kindness
Says drink up another pint
Just as long as you’re too drunk
To open up your eyes
The perfection of your world is
Followed by your glitches
So take another shot and
Take it for what it is
One more day away
But what a waste
Look around again now
Will you ever leave this place?
Walk the streets again of yet another lonely road
Who would have thought this would unfold
(Who would have thought, who would of thought)
