lyrics

World is dead but I'm awake
Three A.M. can't get no sleep
Drag the pen around the page
Nothing seems to take a shape

Cast my mind back on the day
A million thoughts I'd tucked away
A meter nothing seems to fit
No poison left inside my pen

Head is empty no more words
Nothing left I need to say
Nothing left to be erased

I don't know just what to do
I can't seem to find a way
To squeeze more blood out on the page

Watch the shadows cross the wall
Watch the moonlight's rise and fall
The streetlight flickers off and on
World is dead but I'm awake

What I'd give to close my eyes
Brain won't let me set aside
Melody without a verse

So I'll struggle with the page
A few more hours til the day
I'll conjure up this one last line
