Sick, tired, and grumpy... don't mess with my bootlace

...I thought Vitamin C was supposed to help colds!? I've had like... five tablets and my cold is still here! ...Vitamin C sucks.

Oh Sleeper

nothing is left
that you slaved so hard to build
all that you knelt to bow before
is now no more

where does that leave you?
what are you standing here
waiting so long for?

wake up
oh you coward sleeper
get off your death bed
quell your thirst for deepening depths
face the only God
the only God you need

vast patience holds strong
depicting your foolish heart
waiting and hoping
to ignore the path behind you
you know was wrong

cast your eye out into the open
pry wide the lid you've held tight
incessantly groping
for a blindness to cover over
your conscious desire for chains of apathy

wake up
oh you coward sleeper
get off your death bed
quell your thirst for deepening depths
and face the only God
the only God you need

your muscles have atrophied
and your heart is rusting
screaming with unfelt emotions of longing
deathly stilled in this your iron age

you coward you coward you coward you coward you coward!

ice has thawed
iron has melted
will time fade to nothing
without the first drip of tear
out from beneath your vacant eye?

wake up
oh you coward sleeper
get off your death bed
quell your thirst for deepening depths
and face the only God
the only God of your life
