Falling Awake

Eagle in the dark
 Feathers in the pages.
 Monkeys in my heart
 Are rattling their cages.
 Found a way to blue
 And another ghost to follow
 Said "it's only up to you"
 And that's the hardest pill to swallow.
 Mmmmmhmmmmmhhhmmm
 ♪
 You never get to choose
 You live on what they sent you
 And you know they're gonna use
 The things you love against you
 One foot in the grave
 One foot in the shower
 There's never time to save
 You're paying by the hour
 And that's just the way it goes
 Falling awake
 And that's just the way it goes
 ♪
 Slipping through the bars
 Aware of the danger
 Of riding in the cars
 Taking candy from strangers
 And it's never out of hand
 Never out of pocket
 I'm supersonic man
 Do you wanna buy a rocket?
 And that's just the way it goes
 Falling awake, falling awake
 And that's just the way it goes
 Falling awake, falling awake
 ♪
 Eagle in the dark
 Feathers in the pages
 Monkeys in my heart
 Are rattling their cages
 I could learn to play the game
 Learn to run the hustle
 If I only had the brains
 The money or the muscle
