Falling Awake
Eagle in the dark,Feathers in the pages,Monkeys in my heartAre rattling their cages.
Found a way to blueAnd another ghost to followSaid 'it's only up to you'It’s the hardest pill to swallow.
You never get to chooseYou live on what they send to youAnd you know they're gonna useThe things you love against you
One foot in the graveOne foot in the showerThere's never time to saveYou're paying by the hour
And that's just the way it goesFalling awakeAnd that's just the way it goes
Slipping through the barsAware of the dangerOf riding in the carsTaking candy from strangers
And you’re never out of handNever out of pocketI'm supersonic manDo you wanna buy a rocket?
And that's just the way it goesFalling awake, falling awakeOh that's just the way it goesFalling awake, falling awake
Eagle in the darkFeathers in the pagesMonkeys in my heartAre rattling their cages
I could learn to play the gameI could learn to run the hustleIf I only had the brainsThe money or the muscle
