Woke Up Twice (False Awakening)

7:14

Sun through the blinds

Phone on the charger Everything's fine

Feet on the carpet Cold morning floor

Walk to the bathroom Close bedroom door

Brush my teeth

Turn the tap My reflection keeps moving After I stop

... Wake up

I woke up twice And neither one was real

Opened my eyes But never broke the seal

How many mornings Can one night hide?

I woke up twice I think I'm still inside

7:14

Sun through the blinds

Phone on the charger Everything's fine

Don't look in the mirror I learned that before

Walk to the kitchen There's no bedroom door

Someone at the table Smiles and says my name

I ask how they got here

They say:

"You asked me to stay"

No I didn't

Wake up

I woke up twice And neither one was real

Opened my eyes But never broke the seal

How many mornings Can one night hide?

I woke up twice I think I'm still inside

What does waking feel like?

How would I even know?

Every time I reach the surface

There's another one below

If I pinch myself It hurts If I scream I hear sound

If everything feels real What proves I'm awake right now?

Ahh...

Wake... Ahh...

I woke up twice

Maybe three times now

Every room feels right Until it turns around

How many mornings Can one night hide?

I woke up twice And I'm afraid to open my eyes

7:14 Sun through the blinds Phone on the charger Everything's fine ...

Am I awake now?
