I wrote this in my sleep, over the course of almost two years.

wake me

will you wake me when it's over?
i don't want to feel this pain
will you ache with desolation?
this will never ever feel the same...

will you wake me when it's over?
i don't want to feel this...
will you shoulder every burden?
will you betray me with a kiss?

will you wake me when it's over?
kiss my eyelids 'til there's light...
or will you leave me grieved and sightless,
stumbling off into the night?

will you wake me when it's over?

will you wake me when it's over?
put me on my feet again...
or will you close the door behind me
and leave me drowning the rain?

will you wake me when it's over?
will you tear this dream away?
will you go from rhyme to reason?
will you make me want to stay?

i dream myself to be a hero
i dream myself to be a clown,
i flail away into the darkness...
vaccuum voids without a sound

will you wake me when it's over?
compare my dreaming to the reel?
will you wake me when it's over?
give me something new to feel...
