Blink Twice If You Understand

Wake up,

Open your eyes,

Blink,

Blink,

Adjust to the lights and the sounds,

But there is no time for that,

No time to get used to the world around me,

It’s changing and growing,

And burning down,

Wake up,

Wake up,

Open your eyes,

Count backwards from ten,

Blink,

Wipe the ash from your face,

Blink,

Wipe the tears from your cheeks,

Wake up,

Shut your eyes tightly,

Open them again,

You are not in a dreamland,

Wake up,

See the world for the state it is in,

Blink,

Readjust your vision,

Wake up, 

Wake up, 

Don’t look away,

You helped cause this pain,

Blink,

It won’t go away, 

Blink,

Panic grips your heart, 

Wake up, 

It’s going to be okay,

Wake up, 

At least that’s what they say, 

Blink, 

Rub your eyes, 

Your vision needs to change, 

Wake up, 

See the world for what it is,

Not what you want it to be,

Blink,

Blink,

Wake up.
