I asked you if you'd wake me up. br It seemed the simplest of things. br But as you battled through the thorns br To steal away my dreams, br br You stopped somewhere along the way br Where others set in stone br Begged of you to stay, oh stay, br And leave me on my own. br br You pencilled in moustaches br On lips that were solemnly dumb br On lidless eyes you drew in glasses br As I waited for you to come. br br When you arrived, br Kicked in the door, br And broke a chair or two, br And hastened to my bedside br br You knew that you were late, br And time waits for no man, br Thus it was fated that we'd be br Eternally damned. br br Now I will wake, br Now you will sleep. br My turn to live, br And yours to keep br br The mysteries of the universe br Behind shuttered eyes. br And apart we'll always be br And neither of us will rise.
