I woke up and I felt afraid
Dreamt I was sleepless
Couldn't die at the end of the day
I wasn't god
But the closest thing
Just a lonely endless pattern
In the way
I took my bread
I sucked my grain
And I felt fear magnified
By the strength of sempiternal days
Got out of bed
Fell into the fray
Lemme tell you something honey
Ain't nothing new under the sun not now not ever
Not no way
Turned back to the calendar on my wall
It was the day of their lord so I'll be good
Sunday I'm mean and tall
'Cause when you're thrust headfirst into the banality of it all
Ain't no fun stickin' to your own proclivities
I tried that for the first half of eternity
So for the last whole
Freedom is the enemy of creativity's hanging on my wall
Hey
Well I woke up and I felt afraid
And I felt fear enveloping every last one of sempiternal days
We're coming around to year zero now
Think its time I try for fame
Maybe bring some good into the world
And when it turns bad well that, that's also okay
And what's life when the sun goes out
Or they burn the earth to dust
Just wait till I'm out in that inverted Alaskan winter wilderness
Night so dark and black it turns my brain to mud
I woke up and I felt afraid
Baby, I am petrified
Oh, and to think once I felt I had it made
Jumped out of the bedpan and into the flame
Just a lonely endless thread in the fray
