Don't Wake Me

LIGHT
Take it away
DARK
Bring me day
SOUND
Spare this part
SILENCE
Hear my heart
EVERYTHING
Leaving on a runaway train
NOTHING
Left now but the pain

Don't get paid
And don't get laid
Just get by
And just get high
Run to your father
Or cry to your mother
Lean on your friends
Guilt-trip your brother
Gee, I Have to say, man
You're really neat
Why don't you just stand
On your own two feet?

Too much killing gets you bored
Keep on fighting through the pain
Another addict academy award
Comforts others just the same
Who's to blame?
Who's to blame?

Hope and coffee keep you up
To watch time slip away
Help! The record's stuck
Goddamn shuffle, repeat, play
This is lame
Who's to blame?

Mind poised for flight
Fighting sticky tethers
On take-off night
I'm a bowling ball
Precariously balanced
An a burger-king straw
This world's unbalanced
Let's end the free-fall

Are you screwing with me?
Lose the lies
And get in line
This shit is not fine with me

Just don't, alright?
Peace, g'night.
