stonefaced and rigid
assembly line motions
humanoid faces covered with skin
wake up, for once, goddammit!

wake wake wake up mortal
dont break on the jagged cliffs of time
deep inhale- feel some air
for one sublime moment- live!

look at the sky above you mortal
and the flowers below

look at your palms, mortal
erase those goddamned lines
let all the poison flow free
unlock the pain inside
carve new lines out for yourself
gash them out with your teeth
for one glorious moment, FEEL
live like you've never dared

wake, wake, wake, mortal
dont break upon the cliffs of life.

for one glorious moment, FEEL"

clean and simple. :)

esp
erase those goddamned lines
let all the poison flow free
unlock the pain inside
carve new lines out for yourself
gash them out with your teeth

true!.... how easily we forget all the skies...n' all the rivers...all the trees n' all the grasses.... just to make ends meet... everyone is asleep ...includin everyone!

p.s. but it's good... now that you've cared enough to wake yourself up... or someone else... let the wakefulness remain for a while!
