I'm Awake Lyrics

how many times have you taken advice from the man who hates
seemingly selfishless sentiments hiding his war paint
how many nights have you laid awake fearing the next crusade
did you sleep well last night
what will it take

the clock on the wall it sees everything
and i worry 'bout it cause it's tick tick ticking on
it's just ticking away
and i wake and i want to say
that i'm done with the sleeping and all is fine
and i wake and i'm standing here
here if it's not a dream then i can't believe i'm awake

i see a place where the houses are all just exactily alike
all the cars are one color and there's only one type
each has the same dog and same cat
and same fucking tank of fish
dinner's the same time and all te same dish

the clock on the wall it sees everything
and i worry 'bout it cause it's tick tick ticking on
it's just ticking away
and i wake and i want to say
that i'm done with the sleeping and all is fine
and i wake and i'm standing here
waiting for the day that we open our eyes and i wake and it seems to me that it's all or it's nothing are so blind
and i say hey
is it time to see this is not a dream and i can't believe that i'm awake

how many times have you taken advice from the man who hates
did you sleep well last night
what will it take
and i wake
and i want to say that i'm done with the sleeping and all is fine a
nd i wake
and i'm standing here
waiting for the day that we open our eyes
and i wake
and it seems to me that it's all or it's noting are we so blind and i say hey is it time to see
and i can't believe that we're standing here with our hands on our eyes and ears hoping it goes away
this is not a dream
