what's the difference?

hey friend wake up. can't you tell that you're sleepin

how far can you go with unopened eyes

treating your mind like it was something to play with

you're sleeping on a feather bed of lies. so what's the difference if you don't wake up. you won't know yourself when you finally do. you look into some mirror and wonder what you're looking at. so what's the difference if you do. i have shared your journey from the beauty of childhood

to uniforms of flowers that you wear like sunday skies

til you can't hear them when the soft words are sung to you. you're sleeping on a feather bed of lies. so what's the difference if you don't wake up. you won't know yourself when you finally do. you look into some mirror and wonder what you're looking at. so what's the difference if you do.
