Thin Dark Line

Tonight was written in constellations.
Can you see it?
Do you see it?
A forlorn future forecast for ages.
Relentless advance of an awakening.
You've been wide-awake for years; I'm still ignoring my alarm.
Oh, you wake me up and oh,
You keep me up atop this wire-suspended bridge.
I hope that if you ever dream,
The insides of your eyelids project a silhouette of me.
Relentless advance of an awakening.
You've been wide-awake for years; I'm still ignoring my alarm.
Oh, you wake me up and oh,
You keep me up atop this suspended bridge.
Rip this wire from my chest and watch me fall (mock descent).
Shallow breathing, pounding pulse, racing heartbeats.
We were split wide open.
Forced to defend ourselves.
Forced to depend on ourselves. (And watch me fall)
That's why you never sleep.
