about

A song about being stuck in the middle and wanting to escape reality through the TV and personal dreams.

lyrics

Cigarette smoke in the stairwell,
I’m starting not to feel so well.
Scarlet lipstick on the curtain,
Yeah they’ve all got a story to tell.

And they’re all ranting about the TV,
Saying it makes them sick.
Repeating the same old endings,
But I can’t keep up with it.

So please don’t wake me in the morning.
I’m finally catching up on some sleep.
Please don’t wake me in the morning,
I’m living lost in my best dream.

They’re both telling different stories,
And I am stuck here in between.
You take each word and bend it,
While I watch, tearing at the seams.

And they scream entertain me,
Searching for a hint of peace.
They cry, “Please sustain me!”
But I’m not a plot for your screen.

So please don’t wake me in the morning,
I’m finally catching up on some sleep.
Please don’t wake me in the morning,
I’m living lost in my best dream.

All I ever wanted was some peace,
But everybody’s scraping for a piece of me.
They say, “Clear your mind. It’s fine.”
They say, I should give it time,
But all I ever wanted was some peace,
All I ever wanted was some sleep.

So please don’t wake me in the morning,
I’m finally catching up on some sleep.
So please don’t wake me in the morning,
I’m finally catching up on some sleep.
Please don’t wake me in the morning,
I’m living lost in my best dream.
