Celsius

How far away is sleep now?
In between the sheets it's cool
Hidden under blankets of plastic
And cellophane blue

The temperature is rising
And I will fake a fever too
There are still so many things
I wouldn't do

I feel like I am naked
An emperor without his clothes
And still my hands are shaking
Broken with an overdose

On chemicals I'm burning
Drunk deadly and old
And still there's something here
That leaves my cold

She's awake now
I know that she's awake now
I'm awake now
She knows that I'm awake now

We're awake now
We know that it is over
And it is obvious now
Still we're waiting

Close enough to smell it
Take a deep breath, relax
Out upon the stairway
It's frozen and it shines like glass

We've been sleeping through September
And we're brittle as the frozen glass
And still I think I know
I'm coming back

She's awake now
I know that she's awake now
I'm awake now
She knows that I'm awake now

We're awake now
We know that it is over
And it is obvious now
Still we're waiting

What if I'm wrong?
I could be wrong
I could be wrong
I could be wrong
