There's a little boy
Wide awaken
Trying to lit up a candle
But the world is still asleep

He tried to sing
In a croaked voice
Begging to be heard
But the world is still asleep

Harder, he tried to run
Afraid to be chased
To be taken
But the world is still asleep

Until he sleep
Sleep that no one know
With debris in his mouth
With nothing but scars in his eyes
Yet the world is still asleep

When you asked me who am I

I would say,


I'm a cosmic you questioned
  In delight and sorrow
  Under your insomniac state
  Collided with frustration
  But still you seek

I'm a champagne you sipped
  Only when you were sober
  Sweet and rich
  Lingered on your dainty lips
  Took you to the end of the universe,
  You proudly declared

I'm a saliva you spitted
  In anger and disgust
  As rain comes
  Just to say hello
  But the storm still stay
  Before your very eyes


Then you asked me where do I live

And I would say,


In between your lips

— The End —
