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 me 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's 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 grass
And still I think I know I’m coming back
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 me 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's 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 grass
And still I think I know I’m coming back
