Wake up now
Tonight’s on the plate for taking
And a life, if we make it
Fight the eyelids from shutting
To envision the moment
A feeling we’re after
What to do for the hours that are moving like minutes
And the minutes to seconds
Into the late afternoons
Past the howling of moons
Well the days go by faster
The night’s a restless crawl
And soon our eyelids fall
But will we all wake up on time?
Will we all wake up inside?
Sipping up on their old cold ways
Got none for the choosing
Behind the masks of what lies as elegant n fake
Just a face for the using
High up on the roof
Where the eyes may gaze
Tip toe-ing at the edge
On the corner of doubt and sweet summer blaze
We fall back to bed
The night’s a restless crawl
And soon our eyelids fall
But will we all wake up on time?
Will we all wake up inside?
