I’m running
Through a dense brush
Trees so thick I can’t see ahead
But daylight creeps in
Teasing me
Of salvation, with dehydration

I come to a clearing
Only to face desert
Blazing sun
Blaring noises
In my mind, driving me mad
Propelling my onward
Upward
Crashing back down

Arms outstretched
Soaring in my mind
Never leaving the ground
Feet aching, breathless and enduring
This fatigue

I think I can see the end
Just a line in the sand
This endless desert we cross
Until we close our eyes
That sleep we’ve been hiding from

Wake me up
Lace me up
Mess me up

I’ll just keep going
Until the daylight ends
Along with my lies
Across this terrain to your door

Fed up
Messed up
Please oh please
Knock knock
Open up
