Wake Up
pt. 1
I'll watch over you
> all throught-out the night
Making sure your safe & secure.
And I'll stay here,
> protecting you
Until you finally decide to wake up
and finally see what's good for you.
...PLEASE, DON'T WAKE UP!
And Please don't realize you don't need me
> 'cause I may still need you
pt. 2
Leave me in this bed
I'm too tired to ever wake up,
and it would take everything I have
> to leave the confines of this
> mattress,
> > pillows,
> > > sheets,
> > > > blanket;
Plus I'm too tired to ever to fully wake up.
Just:
> play with my hair,
> > kiss my forehead,
> > > say it will end with everything ok,
I'm just to tired to ever fully wake up.
pt. 3
everyone's telling me your asleep
but even I can tell that's no bed you're dreaming in
she doesn't even look like you
her smile is fake,
her skin is too smooth
her face has no imperfections
who is this woman who's taking your place?
and with every breath I take
the more this feels unreal
when are you going to open your eyes
it's time to wake up
I don't know how to turn off the raido
and every song I hear reminds me of you
wake up you're not sleeping in you own bed
but rather this casket
that was made up and turned down for you
like some morbid bedside service
"A waking nightmare that's only worse when you sleep" (Alchemy)
looking at my hands, they feel so small and helpless
I feel small and helpless
I see your body lying, asleep, across the bed from me
You look like a lovely angel
Yes angel
Baby is a taboo word
I can see you shaking in your sleep
I can see you crying (from your dream)
And I'm helpless
I'd wish you'd wake
> So you can tell me how to ease your suffering
I wish I could bring him back and give you peace
But I don't believe in alchemy
A Single Bed in Two Seperate Houses
A glass of wine on the window sill,
Her on my mind,
Tonight I'm going to sleep alone
Candles light the hall,
She touches his picture frame on the way
But tonight she's going to bed alone
A once filled void emptied again
with the loss of a dear friend
We may be in the same bed
But tonight we're sleeping alone
I've Got A Case of the Mondays
You're so beautiful
> and I'm so broken.
And Monday morning will be here soon
Then it's back to our respective 9-5 lives
Then I become invalid.
My words wont mean a thing.
It'll start at the bottom of my lungs,
and quickly rise up my throat,
until my words spill out my mouth
> only to fall on deaf ears.
Then I have to wait a week
Before you let me live,
> and allow me to breathe.
Five days until I'm something more
> then that kid in the back of your algebra class
> writing poems about you.
I'm Sorry You Found Him in My Absence
You sit across the lunch table
> with your new boyfriend (showing him off)
But I've been gone too long
> I'm outside, I don't understand any of the jokes
And you grew more lovely
> with every second of my absence.
And because of this I lost my chance
Seeing you two together is hard;
Emotions rush up my throat
> I almost blurt out how I feel,
But I bite my tongue,
> bite my lip,
>> close my eyes,
But it's no use, the image wont leave me
I want to scream
(I love you)
I don't want to speak
(I love you, can't you see it in my eyes?)
(please make the first move)
