Snake Lungs - Bonsai Trees

WHEN I’M AWAKENED

DON’T KNOW HOW TO TAKE IT

BUT IF I FAKE IT

DESTROY IT AS I MAKE IT UP

WHEN I’M AWAKENED

DON’T KNOW HOW TO TAKE IT

BUT IF I FAKE IT

DESTROY IT AS I MAKE IT UP

Elephant in the room sitting at my doorstep

Nobody wants to let him in yet

We close our eyes and mouths

And hope that it will disappear

Tighten the grip

On the lock

On the doorknob

I want to fight for my life but I can’t stop

We close our eyes and mouths

And hope that it will disappear

WHEN I’M AWAKENED

DON’T KNOW HOW TO TAKE IT

BUT IF I FAKE IT

DESTROY IT AS I MAKE IT U- U- UP

CAUSE I’M AWAKE AND

DON’T KNOW HOW TO TAKE IT

BUT IF I FAKE IT

DESTROY IT AS I MAKE IT UP

Snake in my lungs biting at my ribcage

Drop to the floor with it up in my headspace

I close my eyes and ears

And hope that it will disappear

Elephant in the room sitting at my doorstep

Nobody wants to let him in yet

We close our eyes and mouths

And hope that it will all be clear

WHEN I’M AWAKENED

DON’T KNOW HOW TO TAKE IT

BUT IF I FAKE IT

DESTROY IT AS I MAKE IT UP

WHEN I’M AWAKENED

DON’T KNOW HOW TO TAKE IT

BUT IF I FAKE IT

DESTROY IT AS I MAKE IT UP

DESTROY IT AS I MAKE IT UP

If you’d be on your own side you’d be fine

WHEN I’M AWAKENED

DON’T KNOW HOW TO TAKE IT

BUT IF I THANK YOU

DESTROY IT AS I MAKE IT UP
