The Doors of Perception Lyrics

Have I been wasting time, or is it wasting me?

Got so much to do and different people to see

It's so obscene

I watch the hourglass sitting idolsome upon the shelf

My mind begins to run, the days blend into one

It's so routine

Wake up before the sun starts its day

Lie in bed and watch the hours slip away

I've yet to do what need be done

Yesterday is today is tomorrow is one

The doors of perception lie around the bend

Inside resides the notion of the sweet pretend

And it's so pristine

I know it should be day, but now it's dark as night

Living in the shadows, keeping out of sight

And don't intervene

Wake up before the sun starts its day

Lie in bed and watch the hours slip away

I've yet to do what need be done

Yesterday is today is tomorrow is one

I just need some time, time is all I need

To stop reflecting you not reflecting me

To reconvene

I should live in the now, but I live in a dream

It paints a prettier picture than reality

And it's so serene

Wake up before the sun starts its day

Lie in bed and watch the hours slip away

I've yet to do what need be done

Yesterday is today is tomorrow is one
