Snafu

Raised from the deep, from my sleep
From a sweet dream that is fading fast
Speak in tongues, take a leak
While my brain is still engaging

Oh, hello again reality, wishing I was
Someone else instead of being me, hoping for a
Miracle to come and set me free, but I know I'm

Out of luck, it's situation normal, all fucked up

Crunch through the day, for my pay
Wrangling with things that make me die
On the inside, look away
While my soul is being strangled

And I dream of a better place, wishing I was
Somewhere else instead of in this space, hoping for a
Change to come but so far nothing does, and I know I'm

Out of luck, it's situation normal, all fucked up

It's not what I want
It's not what I need
It's not how I saw
The way that things would be

I'm alive, I will survive
Keep on going, live in hope not hate
There's a chance, circumstance
Can resolve before it's too late

And I know that I'm culpable, if I do the
Same time and again, get the same result
Need to modify the things I do if I want things to change
Be that butterfly and beat my wings and start a hurricane
Rock the casbah, roll the dice and take my chance
Whirling like a dervish in a dance

And with a little luck
And perhaps some fairy dust
It's situation normal, not fucked up
