The Sleeper

A cruel twist of fate

That I’m always too late

It’s a cruel irony

To always watch but never see


Dress ‘em up and parade ‘em out

So I can sit and write about

The beginning of their coupled love

And this sleeper’s lack thereof


Wake up! Wake up!

You’re still running the race

Shut up! Shut up!

As I lose my place


I’ve seen it before

And I’ll see it again

The sleeper’s awake

And lost in the then


I’ll sit and listen

Forever and ever

But still remain trapped

In a silent never


Dress ‘em up and parade ‘em around

So I can see what I haven’t found

The beginning of their crazy love

And this sleeper’s lack thereof


Clink your glasses

And watch them kiss

Happily ever after

But just among this laughter


Shut up! Shut up!

I don’t want to hear anymore!

Give up! Give up!

And the sleeper takes the floor


He’s been there awhile

And will be forever

Overcome by the feeling

Of being trapped in never


Alone on the ground

The sleeper is out

Quietly dreaming

About what it’s all about


A cruel twist of fate

That I’m always too late

It’s a cruel irony

To always watch but never be


New song too, if you're so inclined :)

Nothing Special

Hope you enjoy

BTW did you like the redhead she was kind of hot (in a non lesbian way).
