Sleeping At Last

When will I feel this As vivid as it truly is, Fall in love in a single touch, And fall apart when it hurts too much?

Can we skip past near-death clichés Where my heart restarts, as my life replays? All I want is to flip a switch Before something breaks that cannot be fixed.

I know, I know - the sirens sound Just before the walls come down. Pain is a well-intentioned weatherman Predicting God as best he can, But God I want to feel again.

Rain or shine, I don’t feel a thing, Just some information upon my skin. I miss the subtle aches when the weather changed, The barometric pressure we always blamed.

All I want is to flip a switch Before something breaks that cannot be fixed.

Invisible machinery, These moving parts inside of me Well, they’ve been shutting down for quite some time, Leaving only rust behind.

Well I know, I know - the sirens sound Just before the walls come down. Pain is a well-intentioned weatherman Predicting God as best he can, But God I want to feel again, Oh God I want to feel again.

Down my arms, a thousand satellites Suddenly discover signs of life.
