Waking Up With Nothing (Is Better Than Waking Up for Nothing)

from Through Acts of God and Idiocy by Jack Holmes

/

lyrics

Jump in with your eyes wide open
and breath in the air and the scenes that allow us to believe
that we are something more than just the sum of our parts
we’re more than dead end jobs, bank balances and broken hearts
Frustration carves it on your arm,
stop crawling your way through the day
stand up and start to walk
How long did the clock hands have to turn for it to take me to learn
that waking up with nothing
is better than waking up something that you could barely care about
as your feet drag like anchors and your eye lids weigh you down
just to meaninglessly decorate the walls of a cell
financial security can’t ever save you from yourself
I may not know who I want to be
and I may well have still have to sleep on someone else’s floor
but I’m not angry anymore
because waking up with nothing is better than waking up for nothing
