AWAKE REPRISE from DUSK BUSES by Izzie Drizzle

Finding cracks in the armour that I fell asleep in
Thinking not even dreaming can escape these feelings
Getting lost inside my head like a labyrinth
No Goblin King or Hoggle I'm left all alone staggering
My skull interior's an Escher lithograph
Stairways lead to nowhere festering and cracked
Will I make it through the throes, skeleton intact?
Juggling my mood between feminine and brash
Tellin em I'm trapped but it's falling on deaf ears
Try ignore the suicidal thoughts in case Death hears
Tell myself I'm doing fine
Tell myself I have the time to
Pry away from groping hands
Try escape the sloping sands
My hourglass is slipping off the shelf i hope it lands
I hope it breaks
I hope it shatters
That way I'll either live forever
Or escape the shackles
And I don't know which one I want to happen more
And I don't know which one I want to happen more
And I don't know which one I want to happen more...
