can't you see?
your wake
is late
you took your life, away
& the one you call your wife,
does not want to stay
& the baby you call your first
is about to burst
my lungs can't hold on any longer
i've spent too long under water
& now that you're awake,
you've realized your mistakes
you cannot undo the past
or make up in the eyes of absent
can't you see?
your wake
is late

can't you see?
your wake
is late
you took your life, away
& the one you call your wife,
does not want to stay
& the baby you call your first
is about to burst
my lungs can't hold on any longer
i've spent too long under water
& now that you're awake,
you've realized your mistakes
you cannot undo the past
or make up in the eyes of absent
can't you see?
your wake
is late
