Wake Up

Will Stelter

Are you scared to wake up?
In the same place you laid your head.
You scribble on your make up,
To pretend your face’s not dead.

And I know,
Yes I know.
The opposition shows.

Are you afraid to take up?
Memoirs of your past.
You hang a robe like a skeleton,
Laid in the closet, there to rest.

And I know,
Yes I know.
The resolution shows.

And I’ll go,
Yes I’ll go,
Far into the unknown.

Into the unkown.
You build a house inside your home.
You work your hands down to the bone.
But your heart, your heart its cold, and old.
You can’t see where to go,
You can’t find your row.

Are you scared to wake up?
In the same bed you laid your dead.
You take all your space up,
To pretend the world outsides not mislead.

Turn off the Tv,
Burn your degree.
I see the hypocrisy,
You’re as scared as me.

And I’ll go,
Yes I’ll go,
Far into the unknown.

Into the unknown.
You build a house inside your home.
You work your hands down to the bone.
But your heart, your heart its cold, and old.
You can’t see where to go,
You can’t find your row.
