Unwanted Lullaby
You can’t just lie here, die here,
Stay in pain all day.
Move get up come on get up go
Daylight lifetimes are racing away
As fast as hands can grasp
At the little bits that might be left
Get what get can get
So move get up c’mon get up go
What would they say if they saw you slept
More for them
They’ll take what you forget
Snooze-bar on the clock of responsibility
Rollover with a whisper in the dark
Corners where the dreams are
Move, get up, c’mon, get up, go.
