Sleepless

Sunrise

Wake up to a revolution

A reality where apathy isn’t sold by the gallon

Wake them up

They are senseless, disposable, defenceless

They whisper in my ear

Every word is insincere

This city lives in the shade

When faced with adversity

They spit you out

Left to drain

And I’m sick of this city

They spit you out, so spit me out

And I’m sick of this city

So spit me out

When things get rough you can’t just give up

How can they just give up?

When times get tough you can’t just walk away

How can they walk away?

I don’t want to be the one to teach them how to live

Integrity seems obsolete

So maybe, maybe I have to

I won’t rest until they learn

I will not rest until they learn

They’re not alone

An obstacle is not a brick wall

Being young ain’t four fucks every weekend

Good things come to those who endure

Don’t waste the dream

I’ve got a fifty dollar bill that says I ain’t gonna sleep tonight

In a daze they lose interest

So easy giving up once more

When we have just begun

Don’t tell me they don’t feel that something is missing

I don’t want to be the one

Maybe I don’t have to

So let them sleep with their regrets

Sunsets
