Wake up It's time to go to school I walk outside It is autumn The trees are bleeding No one made breakfast The door is unlocked And I can here sirens still And in the stillness of that second... The alarm goes off Ten minutes late Again Buzzing and buzzing in my ear Like the siren The siren comes again And in that bitter moment... My eyes open I look into the dark It's 3 am I haven't had the chance to dream I get up to wash my face I can hear the click click click Of the clock Or bike pedals Broken bike pedals The sound reverberates through The room bouncing off the walls I kept the windows and doors shut Again tonight I thought it would be safer that way Don't let anything in that isn't Welcome So it continues Inescapable That click click click See there's a strange thing about Sounds and memories Certain noises send certain signals Through certain neurons That connect making memories Images Click click click Road signs Painted over Stop sign 25 miles per hour Click click click Pedals and wheels See there's a funny thing about Sounds and memories They always come together They always leave together Click click click See I kept the doors and windows Shut tonight It'd be safer that way Won't let anything out that does Not belong I wake up My dreams are getting more And more realistic as I forget them I roll over on my side My chest aching My hands still shake from The dreams See there's a funny thing about Sounds and memories They always leave together I feel a soft breeze on my cheek I left the window open
