Chalk Farm - I'm Awake lyrics

How many times have you taken advice from a man who hates? Seemingly selfishless sentiments hiding his war paint How many nights have you laid awake fearing the next crusade Did you sleep well last night What will it take? The clock on the wall it sees everything And I worry 'bout it 'cause It's tick tick ticking opn It's just ticking away And I wake And I want to say That I'm done with the sleeping And all is fine And I wake and I'm standing here If it's not a dream Then I can't believe That I'm awake I see a place where the houses are all just exactly alike All of the cars are one color and there's only one type Each has the same dog and same cat and same f**ing tank of fish Dinner's the same time and all the same dish The clock on the wall it sees everything And I worry 'bout it 'cause It's tick tick ticking opn It's just ticking away And I wake And I want to say That I'm done with the sleeping And all is fine And I wake and I'm standing here Waiting for the day When we open our eyes And I wake And it seems to me That's it's all or it's nothing Are we so blind And I say Hey is it time to see This is not a dream And I can't believe that I'm awake How many times have you taken advice from a man who hates? Did you sleep well last night What will it take? And I wake And I want to say That I'm done with the sleeping And all is fine And I wake and I'm standing here Waiting for the day That we open our eyes And I wake And it seems to me That's it's all or it's nothing Are we so blind And I say Hey is it time to see And I can't believe That we're standing here With our hands on our eyes and ears hoping it goes away This is not a dream This is not a dream This is not a dream
