Waking Up

Verse 1

Silver rain

Dripping off the corrugated tin

Roof

The heavy damp has lifted

Cold

I feel the cold

Biting at my knuckles like a friend

Back again

Chorus

Waking up

I am waking up

I am waking up

The blood is moving through the map

Waking up

I am waking up

The circuit finally caught the spark

Waking up

Verse 2

Dusty glass

Wiped it with a sleeve of wool

Clear

I see the garden growing

Thick

Green and thick

The dirt is under fingernails tonight

Tasting light

Bitter on the tongue but sweet

Alive

Chorus

Waking up

I am waking up

I am waking up

The blood is moving through the map

Waking up

I am waking up

The circuit finally caught the spark

Waking up

Bridge

Pull the curtains back

Open every door

Throw the locks away

I don't need the shadow

I don't need the quiet

I don't need the wall

Sun is hitting hard

Heavy on the floor

Verse 3

Bare feet

Walking on the kitchen tile

Ice

The shock is what I wanted

Now

Right now

The kettle starts to whistle and scream

Breaking the dream

Chorus

Waking up

I am waking up

I am waking up

The blood is moving through the map

Waking up

I am waking up

The circuit finally caught the spark

Waking up

Outro

I am here

I am here

I am here

The morning is a heavy weight

But I can carry it

I can carry it

Finally

Finally

I am awake
