Why did you wake me? I had been sleeping for so long
And I am stuck in this fog of awakened nonsense
Again I ask, why did you wake me when I was sleeping?
I am waiting for an answer, almost anything will do
I feel as though I am talking to myself
My words echoing in my head
You again fail to answer me, you can be honest with me now
If you will spare my heart, if you will spare my heart
While I am sleeping, I am void of all pain
Only the joys of my inner world
This couldn't be more than a test of my mind
And you a figment of my imagination
Vividly, you play a role in this lucid dream
And sadly I have to channel to receive your energy
Other than this jolt that woke me so
Abruptly from my heavenly slumber
Since before I can remember you have let me sleep
And then, now you come alive
No more fantasy, no more wonder, no more dream
Just consciousness without reason
There will be a day that I awake to your calling
But for today, just five more minutes
