Lyrics:
I don't know how to cry
Does any one these days
Know what's real
Won't you take me by the hand
I didn't want to feel
Cuz life felt too hard
Now its all a game that I don't understand
Wake up
Live someone else's dream
Smile smile
Cuz they're all watching
Shakeup shakedown
They can't hear you scream
Smile smile
Can't you hear me sing?
I don't know how to feel
Does any one these days
Even care if the next man is 'live or dead?
I didn't want to look
The daylight is too hard
I feel like somethings changed
But I can't understand
Wake up
Live someone else's dream
Smile smile
Cuz they're all watching
Shakeup shakedown
They can't hear you scream
Smile smile
Can't you hear me sing?
Wake up
Live someone else's dream
Smile smile
Cuz they're all watching
Shakeup shakedown
They can't hear you scream
Smile smile
Can't you hear me sing?
There is something strange
In my brain
Thats coming through (And I never)
I hear your name
And my brain
Tears me in two

This song gets me outta my bad funk mornings. The unfeeling mornings where I feel like a cog in the machine of life and then realize with this song that I'm loving the dream of probably millions of others around the world. To have a family a job and apartment working as a waste hauler

This has been my new favorite song for more than a month now. Reminds me of something from before… all of this new shit. It is new, however. Yet, somehow, not derivative, completely new, original, and relevant. I played this for a friend who was in a storm of emotions, it calmed them down, made them feel centered, they looked at me and hugged me, and said that it was so beautiful. Thank you for creating this.

[@Psilomuscimol]

I was almost carjacked and or stabbed. But his woman who I rescued climbed on top of him till we got where he wanted to go. And at that house was a man I knew for a long time, and an old lady who pulled her handgun on the guy and made him get out of my car. (I took the keys when I jumped out and ran inside their house)
