|
I'm born |
|
I'm alive |
|
I breathe |
|
In a moment or two i realize, |
|
That the sphere upon which i reside, |
|
Is asleep on its feet. |
|
Should i go back to sleep? |
|
We orbit the sun |
|
I grow up |
|
My open eyes see... |
|
A zombified, somnambulist society. |
|
Leaving us as vitamins |
|
For the hibernating human animal. |
|
Do you see what i mean? |
|
You stare at me like a vitamin |
|
On the surface you hate, |
|
But you know you need me. |
|
I'll come dressed as any pill you deem fit. |
|
Whatever helps you swallow truth |
|
All the more easily. |
|
And i wonder, will you digest me? |
|
Into the sleep machine i won't plug in, |
|
In fact i'd rather die before i will comply. |
|
To you, my friend, |
|
I write the reason i still live, |
|
'cause in my mind it's set the vitamin is ripe to give |
|
Coming closer to another 2000 years |
|
You and i will pry |
|
The closed eye of the sleep machine |
