Sleep long, sleep well[00:02:08]
Only to awake in hell.[00:02:08]
[x2[00:02:08]
One day I saw a man asleep[00:02:08]
In a doorway on the street[00:02:08]
Through walls of sheltered inhibition[00:02:08]
I perceived his condition.[00:02:08]
Dying of hunger and exposure,[00:02:08]
Food and shelter, two blocks over.[00:02:08]
Within this place we breed and dwell[00:02:08]
We锛噕e created living hell.[00:02:08]
Sleep long, sleep well[00:02:08]
Only to awake in hell.[00:02:08]
[x2[00:02:08]
City sleeps and pigeons flutter,[00:02:08]
Vagrant dies in the gutter[00:02:08]
Prideless death somehow befitting[00:02:08]
To life spent working on forgetting.[00:02:08]
Riding on the bus, I looked outside and thought about death[00:02:08]
Passing cars the only tribute to his gasping final breath.[00:02:08]
Sleep long, sleep well[00:02:08]
Only to awake in hell.[00:02:08]
[x2[00:02:08]
Then I went home, to get my mind off things,[00:02:08]
I decided to watch television.[00:02:08]
Constant subliminal brain immersion[00:02:08]
Subconscious death wish coercion.[00:02:08]
Buy and consume and want and need[00:02:08]
Never fall from the trap of greed.[00:02:08]
I thought about the bitter pain[00:02:08]
Of jail cells and falling rain,[00:02:08]
I thought ahead and I looked away,[00:02:08]
What can you do anyway ?[00:02:08]
In sheltered youth and our pretension[00:02:08]
Avert our eyes to divert attention[00:02:08]
Only to see the human victims[00:02:08]
Always there to remind us.[00:02:08]
Sleep long, sleep well[00:02:08]
Only to awake in hell.[00:02:08]
[x2[00:02:08]
Only to awake in hell.[00:02:08]
