Hibernation - For Science

Tonight, I’ll wake up in front of everyone

If I’ve been sleeping, please

Would someone tell me why it’s so cold and disgusting outside?

The snow never sticks in Jersey, but that’s the way it’s always been

I guess I’ll have to learn to deal with it

I have this dream about you

You’re smiling more than usual

I know I’m dreaming, when I haven’t slept in months

So am I awake or deprived? Am I dreaming every night?

In deep, deep sleep

In hibernation

If I said I missed you, would you try not to take it lightly?

Life has become one big denial of a question —

When will I see you again?

And to say the least, it’s crippling

But, if this is how it’s gonna be

I guess I’ll have to learn to deal with it
