Open up, Eyes I've given you the prize to see again. Darkness. Let me feel you with my fingertips Okay good, but dear doesn't anyone have a light in here? Darkness Get up, feel around. This place seems familiar. Look up, look down Figures become linear Darkness Click! There it is. Man, I should have cleaned the place Oh, and everything is just where I left it Great! Rusty orange, forest green Common colors that I'm used to seeing. Look to my left Bingo! There's John, Paul, George, and Ringo Take a step creak creak creak Floorboards never cease to make a squeak Open the door, what do you see? So much more than before I went to sleep. Darkness What's that there? Medicare? The UNITED states? What is this place? So much for us coming together. I wonder if it had not been better if I had slept forever? Darkness Change is constant. Diamonds are litter. The warm and sweet now cold and bitter. Streets swarmed with people wearing collars of blue, wait a minute.. Our president is black too? Darkness Hollowed eyes, Songs without melody Selfish men disguised as hearts with harmony. Arrogance, ignorance Obliviousness, incompetence In this future I shall only reminisce. Oh, what did I miss? Darkness Slaving like slaves, working like elves. This is not what I wished before 2012. It's the end of evolution but lets find a substitution! Oh won't anyone help me look? No even a trace? Not even a sprinkle? I'm living the life of Rip Van winkle. Darkness Man oh man, nothing's changed And i used to think ****** was deranged. So much for coming together. I wonder if it had not been better if I had slept forever?
