Falling Awake Lyrics

Eagle in the dark
Feathers in the pages.
Monkeys in my heart
Are rattling their cages.Found a way to blue
And another ghost to follow
Said its only up to you
And thats the hardest pill to swallow.You never get to choose
You live on what they sent you
And you know they're gonna use
The things you love against youOne foot in the grave
One foot in the shower
Theres never time to save
Youre paying by the hourAnd thats just the way it goes
Falling awake
And thats just the way it goesSlipping through the bars
Aware of the danger
Of riding in the cars
Taking candy from strangersAnd its never out of hand

Never out of pocket
Im supersonic man
Do you wanna buy a rocket?And thats just the way it goes
Falling awake, falling awake
Oh thats just the way it goes
Falling awake, falling awakeEagle in the dark
Feathers in the pages
Monkeys in my heart
Are rattling their cagesI could learn to play the game
I could learn to run the hustle
If I only had the brains
The money or the muscle
