""Waking Up""

by Twan - Aries

(MUSIC: KID ROCK "ONLY GOD KNOWS WHY")
(MUSIC)

i'll be sitting here, thinking i am clean
i ate those rice and beans, from when times were lean
waiting for payday, screaming bout mayday
we say that we don't care but we know we do
i live to adulate, even adulturate
awakenings begin in earnest inside my mind
i spent time in love, equal time in hate
i guess where i ended up just had to be fate
everyone wants my name, so they yell out real loud
when everyone fucks with me, its hard be down in crowds
i guess thats the price i paid, to become gay like i am
skirts in hands and one night stands, now i've found love
and when my walls get put back up
i'll drink from this cup
and when my walls get broken down
i cry without sound
people don't care bout the person that i am
they only care about that i'm just like sam
i only tried to be myself and i almost got destroyed
oh i know i've got more to life than being annoyed
i said more than once and i know its the truth
YOU CAN'T GET THIS FAR WITHOUT LOVE, AND PEOPLE NEED MORE THAN RUTH
NO I'LL NEVER BE WHOLE
OH, I'LL NEVER BE WHOLE
I GIVE TOO MUCH AND GET TOO LITTLE, I GET TOSSED A LUMP OF COAL
SO I GUESS THIS IS THE WAY THAT IT HAS TO BE 
I'LL KEEP GOING FAR I'M WAKING UP TO SEE
I'M WAKING UP
I'M WAKING UP
I'M WAKING UP TO SEE
(MUSIC)
TAKE MY LOVE WHERE I WANT IT TO BE
TAKE MY LOVE WHERE IT CAN SEE
OH, RELEASE THIS PAIN, OH
RELEASE ME OF THIS PAIN...YEH, YEH, YEH.
