Celsius

How far away is sleep now? In between the sheets, it's cool

Hidden under blankets of plastic and cellophane blue

The temperature is risin' and I will fake a fever too

There are still so many things I wouldn't do

I feel like I am naked, an emperor without his clothes

And still, my hands are shaking, broken with an overdose

On chemicals, I'm burning, drunk, deadly and old

And still, there's something here that leaves me cold

She's awake now, I know that she's awake now

I'm awake now, she knows that I'm awake now

We're awake now, we know that it is over and it's obvious now

Still, we're waiting

Close enough to smell it, take a deep breath, relax

Out upon the stairway, it's frozen and it shines like glass

We've been sleeping through September

And we're brittle as the frozen grass

And still, I think I know I'm coming back

She's awake now, I know that she's awake now

I'm awake now, she knows that I'm awake now

We're awake now, we know that it is over and it's obvious now

Still, we're waiting

What if I'm wrong?

I could be wrong

What if I'm wrong?

I could be wrong

I could be wrong

I could be wrong

I could be wrong

I could be wrong
