I wake up but I never sleep I'm just stuck in one long day dream,
I fill my lungs but I can never breathe,
I guess things aren't always what they seem.
I move my lips but I never speak,
the things I planned to say to you earlier this week,
I open my eyes but I can't see,
The stuff that really matter is usually for free.
You know it's funny it'll never be,
The thing you always wanted but that's not down to me.
You make your own life you say, obviously,
But the world owes you nothing that you didn't get for free.
