Wake Up

Lyrics

See I just wanna wake up [Verse 1] Just the other day I fell asleep and drifted off into a dream infected with the choices I've made The only remedy reflected in each footstep to bridges burnt or built 'cause there's a lesson to be learned either way I try to spangle my sky with stars and rainbows, friendships and sunbeams Deliberate attempts to just live my smile, but it doesn't always work Because perfection is an effigy erected in faith So I'll keep feeding off the evidence of grace for a while Denial finds us in a place of comfort where escape is shrouded in choice You gotta choose to be alive We often loose ourselves in speed traps and traffic Ignoring the didactic though knowledge is the fuel that gives us drive See I've encompassed all the ruckus and the folly Trying to build on who I am, it proudly shields me from the shams 'cause life ain't always what it's cracked up to be And so the waves reluctantly crash the dam, damn [Hook] I just wanna wake up I open my eyes and look to the skies with no disguise for help See we can't survive all by ourselves See I just wanna wake up I open my eyes and look to the skies with no disguise for help I know that I can't survive all by myself Why can't we wake up? I open my eyes and look to the skies with no disguise for help I see that I can't survive all by myself See I just wanna wake up I open my eyes and look to the skies with no disguise for help See we can't survive all by ourselves [Verse 2] Laughing over spilled milk to keep from crying Flowers wilt from truth for lying The virus of time isn't the only option But I'm setting the clock to hear the cock crow just to go clock in The dream is intravenously embedded in me, shouldn't be alarmed that it's shocking But the sheep keep watching, knowing I'm in a position to wake up 'cause I won't keep quiet, knowing a steady diet of logic is priceless I'm eluding the divisive, I keep moving, 'til I'm protruding all devices Finding myself and knowing emotion is bonded to motion, I focus the cards that I'm dealt Refusing to fail, knowing I'm only reflecting the art to rebel Let it settle for a little, I'm a little bit under the weather, hoping for a shelter And I found it in you, every time I dream, I'm astounded that you Let me wake up [Hook] I open my eyes and look to the skies with no disguise for help And see that I can't survive all by myself See I just wanna wake up I open my eyes and look to the skies with no disguise for help See we can't survive all by ourselves Why can't we wake up? I open my eyes and look to the skies with no disguise for help And see that I can't survive all by myself See I just wanna wake up I open my eyes and look to the skies with no disguise for help See we can't survive all by ourselves See I just wanna wake up I open my eyes and look to the skies with no disguise for help And see that I can't survive all by myself Why can't we wake up?
