Wake Up Sleeping Baby

It took this long to sing this part
Run around, and fall to the ground
Scream and shout
Fall back and watch the world fall beneath my feet
Shh....if no one knows
How could anyone find out?

Slip and slide
Down on your ass you go
Falling back on this black ice
Save me! Save me!

My words are like silent whispers in the wind
Gone before you hear them
And only touch the skin
Never sink in, never make marks

It took this long to see what’s coming
After days, weeks, months of knowing
Turn around in circles
Take the last breath and let go!
