(ME)
I can't stay awake
Time is moving ever so quick
I want to see it all
Pretending to stay
Time leaves us waiting until we fall asleep
When we're waiting to awaken
Our dreams take us to a place
A cage to be shaken, caging the soul of me
(The Kamicosmonaut)
Time seems to thicken when your staring at a broken clock
I can hear the hands clapping don't stop, "Tick Tock"
Mind seems to quicken now it's running down the block
I feel the need to rest, no, I feel the need to rock
The mind's eye racing through the night like a colt does
Trying to figure exactly what it wasn't, what it was
Driven by death, yet I'm driving from it
Fearless in my Raybans
Triumph at the summit
The suns dropping like a bomb in the night sky
Sequence of warm canary colors serenaded by
A blank face to capture the laughter help within a question mark disaster
The master planned a picnic around falling debris
Never stalling, we started crawling.
Falling in love with it's beautiful disease
A template simply trying to bring us to our knees
We made away with an atlas, no we're swinging in the breeze
(ME)
Living this way
In my dreams and wishes
Keeps me moving on
I can't stay awake
I would love to stay here until we fall asleep
When we're waiting to awaken
To live knowing there's an end
A cage to be shaken, caging the soul of me
(The Kamicosmonaut)
The dawn of forever to sever the night
A lever to pull me together to make me alright
My endeavor to measure the pleasure delight
Can cause a nation to get up and insight the freedom of the mind
Remind the man at power this is your calling
A simple overhauling of your final hour
Empower your ability to see a coward's belief
Blindly you follow the sheep to find your own way home
But they're lying through their teeth
They're lying through their flesh and bone
...and though it's written in stone, it's not true
I sing to the moon just before I close my eyes
Dawn breaks hearts as the sun begins to rise
How many minutes will your night take?
Is it an escape or a surprise?
A sunburst explosion disguised.
