the Song
Sometimes I wake up naked, I smile
at the sight I see.
Sometimes I touch the mirror, and
I wonder if that’s me.
Sometimes I run from the sunshine,
avoiding the shadow behind.
Sometimes I want to go deeper still, but worry at what I find.
Sometimes I stand in the open,
expose myself to friends.
Sometimes I crawl into corners, and wait for the fear to end.
Sometimes I laugh at the
questions, but still I collect my prize.
Sometimes I cry at the answers, and shake my head at the lies.
CHORUS
Sometimes I wake up naked, sometimes it’s only a dream.
Sometimes I have to hold my breath, or else I have to scream.
Sometimes I think you don’t know me, sometimes I know you do.
Sometimes I don’t want to know myself, but that would never be true... Ooo... Ooo...
Ooo...
Sometimes I wake up naked, I play the helpless fool,
Sometimes I feel my body breaking underneath the rules.
Sometimes I join in the struggle, by answering the calls,
Sometimes I make my great escape, by scaling over walls.
Sometimes I call out slogans, I follow the party line,
Sometimes I keep my mouth tight shut, when every word is mine.
Sometimes I stand at the edges, and look at the rocks below,
Sometimes I just want to clip my wings, when every voice says, Go!
Chorus
Sometimes I wake up naked, I look for a place to hide.
Sometimes I peek behind the mask, and wonder what’s inside.
Sometimes I think I’m transparent, I’m the Invisible Man.
Sometimes I think I’m drowning, when I do the best I can.
Sometimes I kiss the sweet façade, so delicately
thin,
Sometimes I hate the monster, that lives just under skin.
Sometimes I stand in the limelight, and cover myself in gloss,
Sometimes I lie in the darkness, and weep at the terrible loss.
Chorus
Coda
Sometimes I wake up naked!
