Wake Me When It's Over

(albüm: The Ides Of March - 2021)

Close your eyes
To the world outside
It's a shit storm so they say
It's just you and I
On an endless holiday

We'll pass the time
Pour a drink get high
In a futile state of play
Try to numb the truth
There may be nothing left to save

Well if that's the way it is
Then pass me one last hit
Cause the voices in my head make me insane

You can wake me when it's over
When the nightmare finally ends
You can wake me when it's over
So that I can dream again

Rations now
As the rain comes down
On this pallid paradise
There's no relief
When there is no end in sight

Wanna slip away
From the dead and grey
Can you ease my worried mind?
If you're in the mood
Well you know I've got the time
Yeah I do

If you please I must insist
Please concede with just one kiss
Got the doldrums once again I cannot lie

You can wake me when it's over
When the nightmare finally ends
You can wake me when it's over
So that I can dream again

If we could get back to the order
The way it was once again
Please don't tell me that it's over
I'm scared as hell I can't pretend

What comes next
Well I must confess
I haven't got a clue
For all I know
The end is coming soon

Wanna lay you down
In that pretty gown
We got nothing left to lose
As it all burns down
At least I'll die with you

So baby take me now it's over
I'm afraid we've reached the end
But it might save me when it's over
To know I died with my best friend
Oh-oh-oh...
