I just woke up, alive!
Guess I’ll face another wretched day
Seems I’m doomed to carry on, no matter what I pray
I just woke up, alive!
When last I hit my pillow, I so needed more than rest
That silver cord should part as Abe received me to his breast
But no such luck, the sun is up with two more scoops of pain
Mocking from the boxtop as I start this shit again
I can't believe that I woke up, alive!
Guess I’ll face another wretched day
Seems I’m doomed to carry on, no matter what I pray
I just woke up, alive!
It’s not, "I miss my mama" or the dogs I used to curb
Survey says: "They Lived Enough!" and that "Afterlife’s Superb!"
It’s just I’m out of options
And my hopes are right behind
Losing’s been my life, now Body- catch up with my Mind!
I woke up, alive!
Can’t believe I lived to see the day!
I just woke up, alive- no, I can’t get away-
I woke up, alive!
Can’t believe I lived to see the day!
I just woke up, alive- no, I can’t get away-
Sure, I could pull the trigger
I could take a flyin’ leap
But, pussy that I am, I shake and cry myself to sleep
It takes a special brand of sickness, man
To keep these panties wet-
That’s hanging on simply to see how fucked up things can get
I can't believe that I woke up, alive!
Guess I’ll face another wretched day
Seems I’m doomed to carry on, no matter what I pray
I just woke up, alive!
I woke up, alive!
