Would You?
don't you hate it
when you wake up
at quarter to three
in the morning
and all you want to do
is go out or see people
but hardly no one's up
and there's nothing to do
you're so totally bored
you just can't sleep
you can't stop thinking
you want to talk
to get out the words
that take up space
in your crowded brain
you want to run
farther and faster than before
to get away, to escape
from the poison in your mind
from the truth in your soul
if you were offered a way
to forget it all
to go back to sleep
Would you take it?
