There's flies buzzin' round me.
I'm beggin' for a breeze.
The grass that surrounds me
Is so high that I can't see
There's something out there watching me
And I can't find no peace.
If it catches up with me
It's gonna kill me by degrees.
The sun's sinking fast now
And the night is moving in.
I've got to find a place
Where I know I won't be seen.
If you're out there can't you help me
âcause I try but I can't scream
And I know that it's not real
But I can't break out of this dream
Oh no, whoa no
What's it gonna take to make you realize?
You're killing yourself, I've seen it in your eyes.
Stand up and walk away.
Wake up if you want to live another day.
This song if for the people
Who live this dream.
Their minds are twisted
In one long endless scream.
The bottle is your graveyard
The wind howling through the trees.
And if you don't wake up soon
Your life will pass by like a breeze
