Woke Up In My Future
You don't lie to me
And for all of your POISON
I enjoy your company
All the colors that you had behind your mouth like poultry
As you slowly take me prisoner
I swallow up THE KEY
Don't go away
The quietly courageous
And WE OWN THE NIGHT
Naked and contagious
We turn off the lights
Oh, out here nobody hear us
No one is gonna love to see me
I drive around an Escalator down the Midwest
And I love the cruising but I don't stick out my best
Free inside the bars that were deep within my chest
Lying in smoke, how long before I knew you
I knew how to stand tall and how to breathe without you
And I spoke to THE DEAD before I learned how to hear them
You said lift me on my bed, watched me as I slept
And I felt safe and sound, leading with my confidence, I cut it down
With a sword of COMMON SENSE
And I took care of things, I loved to call my heart
What happened to these things?
It's like I woke up in my kitchen
No one is gonna love to see me
I drive around an Escalator down the Midwest
And I love the cruising but I don't stick out my best
Free inside the bars that were deep within my chest
