Wake Me Up
Wake me up,
I’m drowning.
Fell off my throne,
Lost my crown,
And now,
I forget what’s it’s like to be ahead.
I think I wrote it down,
But I forgot what you said.
One day I had to look into their eyes,
I had to pull reins on the tears,
And spill out lies.
And I wrote on my hand,
“Don’t forget what this is like.”
Next time you walk to the edge.
You can’t run away this time.
I have no tears left to cry.
None left for you and I.
My heart beats blood,
But my eyes are dry.
And if I keep hanging on,
without a reason why.
I’ll sell myself short,
Bleed myself dry.
