Vitamin

I'm born, I'm alive, I breathe
in a moment or two I realize
that the sphere upon which I reside
is asleep on its feet
should I go back to sleep?

I'm born, I'm alive, I breathe
in a moment or two I realize
that the sphere upon which I reside
is asleep on its feet
should I, should I,
should I go back to sleep?

You stare at me like I'm a vitamin
on the surface you hate
but you know you need me
I come dressed as any pill you deem fit
whatever helps you swallow truth
all the more easily

We orbit the sun, I grow up
my open eyes see a zombified,
somnambulist society
leaving us as vitamins for the
hibernating human animal
do you, do you,
do you see what I mean?

You stare at me like I'm a vitamin
on the surface you hate
but you know you want me
I come dressed as any pill you deem fit
whatever helps you swallow truth
all the more easily

And I wonder, will you digest me?

Into the sleep machine I won't plug in
in fact I'd rather die before I will comply
to you, my friend, I write the reason I still live
'cause in my mind it's set the vitamin is ripe to give

Coming closer to another 2000 years
you and I will pry the closed eye
of the sleep machine

You stare at me like I'm a vitamin
on the surface you hate
but you know you want me
I come dressed as any pill you deem fit
whatever helps you swallow truth
all the more easily
