If The Sun Doesnt Come Up, Wake Me At First Light

If The Sun Doesnt Come Up, Wake Me At First Light

A Poem by AlmostWhatIWant

This is bigger than me
This is bigger than sanity
Making the sane and the insane blurr together
In something that should never be, or have been
You see the sun has had a long day
And its trying to rest and set
But me, im just waking, this is my morning
Come to think of it, i should be upset

I waste my days away in bed
And live my nights like the sun never lived
So bring it on down, let it fall down all over me
Shadows trying to be the blackest night
Moonlight trying to fight for its space
For its right

Its not right these things that i dream
When i close my eyes its like i mean
To harm everyone and everything around me
But im not dangerous, cant you see

Im just a little tired of day to day
Im just growing out of another phase
And pretty soon when im done with this it
Will all die and seem like bad memories
Maybe im just scared, but maybe im dead
Could you really call this living

I dont care if the sun stays set
And doesnt rise ever again
Id welcome the vacation yeah
Of sleeping and waking, dreaming and thinking
That all the world was fit for me
That all the world had changed
That fate conspires against everyone else
Instead of just against me

If the sun doesnt come up, wake me at first light...
