lyrics

Each dream it always begins the same
Left in the wake of a never ending haze
Bellowed lungs burst at a silent tone
Longing for a place in your heart to belong

Days turn to months, months into years
I'm living in a fracture, behind such fears
Such amenities can't hold a mind together,
Let concrete fill in the gaps, lifeless I become

Breathing in air of wasted dreams
But there's just no place for me
My fingers of ice always melt,
To a heart that feels so warm.

I'm trying to save the youth in me,
But insanity holds this man behind iron bars
(God please wake me)
Please wake me up

I'm trapped here in this god awful curse
It repeats it's cycle I'm stuck in this hearse
(God please wake me)
Please wake me up

Each dream it always begins the same
Wake in the forest of a never ending haze

Life could never be that simple
Your tongue speaks such lies
I gotta be dreaming
But the hardest part is waking up,

Even if the waters knee deep,
I still struggle to breathe
I gotta be dreaming
Do I need to be re medicated?

Tainted water surrounds my wounds
Each day I feel less human,
My fingers of ice always melt,
To a heart that feels so warm.

I'm trying to save the youth in me,
But insanity holds this man behind iron bars
(God please wake me)
Please wake me up

I'm trapped here in this god awful curse
It repeats it's cycle I'm stuck in this hearse
(God please wake me)
Please wake me up

I have the right to believe I am a new man,
I say, everyone gets a second chances
But how do I to forgive such a man
Such a figure that only produces hate

There are two sides to your unforeseen anecdote,
Derelict are the words, of an unfamiliar voice.
But you still perceive the world through an inhuman gaze
