Danny Horn & the Shared Myths - Boy Awake

Come to me someone, it suddenly seems
I've worn out another self help magazine
See, I went to the river to harness some peace
It was crawling with bodies and military police
Just when I'd figured I'd fallen apart
This strangely dressed fellow appeared from the dark
This suburban shaman, he sent me to bed
And asked if I knew what it was to be dead
And I said, 'don't be silly', and I breathed in his fumes
The walls fell away and I was consumed
Through a cascading consciousness I saw a face
It spoke to me, filled me with heavenly grace

Said, "I don't know when you will see me again
So breathe this in deeply, my Sapien friend
Nothing is real. Nothing is Fake"
And I'm boy alone
Boy alive
Boy it seems
Boy awake now

The sick city slickers are sucking in smoke
It's a tired and jaded millennial joke
Silence caresses but just for the short term
Violence addresses the soul like a sunburn
And I'm weary as hell as the man with deeds
Covers me up with his flowers and beads
But he leaves me unfinished, waiting for more
Picking up eggshells on yesterdays floor
Until feral and foetal, I exit the room
Listlessly seeking advise from the moon
And to my surprise the moon spun around
Spoke to me, filled me with heavenly sound

Said, "I don't know when you will see me again
So breathe this in deeply, my Sapien friend
Nothing is real. Nothing is Fake"
And I'm boy alone
Boy alive
Boy it seems
Boy awake now

My friends from the river they do not believe as I do
But you see, I do not need them to
And it's true, breaking through's hard to do
As I stand at this crossroads tonight

And say, "I don't know how I can carry on now
So come back and get me my sentient pal"
But the harder I look, the further you are
I've been reaching and feeling but failing so far

It said, "I don't know when I will see you again
So breathe this in deeply, my Sapien friend
Nothing is real. Nothing is Fake"
And I'm boy alone
Boy alive
Boy, boy, boy
Boy awake

"I don't know when I will see you again
So breathe this in deeply, my Sapien friend
Nothing is real. Nothing is Fake"
And I'm boy alone
Boy alive
Boy it seems
Boy awake now
