I'm really good at waking up
I can do it twenty times a night.

He cries
no gold medal for me though
just bags underneath my eyes.

Plodding on and nodding off and waking up is not enough to keep me on the straight when everything I go to
I always get there late,

he begs
operate and get that lead out of my legs and make me mercury,
I want to see how easily that I could flow, go underneath the infrastructure, but you know and I do that they ****** you, put you in the system grinder,

do I remind you of a holiday you took?

well do I?

look,
it's only seaside blue when you open up your eyes to look inside of you and see that life's not mystery, not a book you read or blood you bleed

just
something that you do to keep the story going and when you're gone?

waking up is easy and I get better every day
