Wake Up Too Late, I'm Already Dead
Teacher says Adam was asleep when Eve showed up The woman knows before the man opens his eyes and sees her, His lovely companion created by Spirit and his own dreams, Here to love freely and dwell in a paradise garden... But how long can we let it be perfect? How long before we thirst for more and fall from grace? We chose knowledge, the ever elusive idea of truth, We pay the price for our pride with Pain, separation, shame, death. When what we thought we knew ceases to mean shit, What do we have left? What have we done to this world? Loathe the monsters our hunger brought to fruition, Both within and without And everywhere in between. Have mercy. I'm weary. Let's go back to sleep. When we wake, we'll know It was all a bad dream.
