by Away With Vega, lyrics by Zach Melton, [with my own structural interpretation based on the song pattern]:
it's gonna take some time
to appreciate my skeleton.
it's what helps me to walk.
it's what keeps me strong.
why are you still sleeping?
wake up! you are missing everything.
i don't mean to bring up any past catastrophes,
but i think it's important to measure all the ground I've covered.
now the rooms are empty, so are the stairs,
unset tables and broken chairs,
and i can't wait to come back home.
i was walking on water.
downstream i fell through.
i know you're near, but i can't hear you.
now i'm not breathing,
and I am sinking deep with you.
hey, wake up!
it's gonna take some time.
Why are you still sleeping?
Wake up, you are missing everything.
