Lyrics

Can't Wake Up


Such a tiny globe in this Universe.
Is there someone else looking through this glass?
I wake and sleep. But which is which?

I know you're there outside this glass.
My friends say, "NO!" We're just mistakes.
They float in place and feed their faces.

Can't wake up. Your fingerprints are all around us.
Can't wake them up.

Is there a name that wakes the dead?
Opens hollow eyes inside their head?
How do I see what they don't see?

Can't wake up. Your fingerprints are all around us.
Can't wake them up.
Can't wake up. Your fingerprints are there and there
But you can't wake them up.
