WAKE ME UP WHEN I’M GONE

 

wake me up to a soft song 

not to a loud bell in ding dong 

I’ve tried in this life, I swear I have 

nothing else is funny to make me laugh 

wake me up subtly from my sleep 

my lucid dreams have gone too deep 

soft tap me so I don jerk with migraine 

my life’s force is slowly going down the drain 

wake me up with a frightening stare

a replica of my nightmare

reality is slowly draining into a loop 

smeared on me like a splash from a soup 

wake me up to sounds of rushing water 

eyes open in a canyon, I really don’t bother 

in nature’s bosom we find eternal peace 

all my pains and sorrows be released 

wake me up no more 

for my body is tired and sore 

the world knows nothing but pain 

my celestial prowess has been drained 

wake me up not 

how lovely would it be if I go nut 

life is for rent and this I know 

leave me hanging, let my boat row 

wake me when I’m gone to the world beyond 

where sins are never observed for too long 

a place I shed no tear for death and misfortune 

where joy and laughter rends the sky all through
