How far away is sleep now?   In between the sheets it's cool   Hidden under blankets of plastic   And cellophane blue      The temperature is rising   And I will fake a fever too   There are still so many things   I wouldn't do      I feel like I am naked   An emperor without his clothes   And still my hands are shaking   Broken with an overdose      On chemicals I'm burning   Drunk deadly and old   And still there's something here   That leaves my cold      She's awake now   I know that she's awake now   I'm awake now   She knows that I'm awake now      We're awake now   We know that it is over   And it is obvious now   Still we're waiting      Close enough to smell it   Take a deep breath, relax   Out upon the stairway   It's frozen and it shines like glass      We've been sleeping through September   And we're brittle as the frozen glass   And still I think I know   I'm coming back      She's awake now   I know that she's awake now   I'm awake now   She knows that I'm awake now      We're awake now   We know that it is over   And it is obvious now   Still we're waiting      What if I'm wrong?   I could be wrong   I could be wrong   I could be wrong
