Wake Up Lyrics

[Part I]

[Intro]
(Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up)

[Verse 1]
I wake on the floor naked
I had the taste of the soil
Weight on the shovel
Face in a puddle
Did I make it?
How long it been
Since I felt my pulse in the shin
How many months is it since
How many more will it bring?
Don't have my body
They probably gon' send me off in the wind
I played this part to the end
Would never start it again
Would suffer the fate of men
With my lady parts in attendance
Would harbor the greed of them
As they take me back from my penance

[Verse 2]
(But the social justice)
Nah, I don't give a fuck 'bout either
All you did was just use it and played your part cause you need it
All it is was a rusing to fake the scars for your bleeding
Now it's you in your truth the excuses won't need no bruising
How did you as a woman
Think that this would be different?
Why assume that the ruler
Gives two shits if you finished
Loyalty in my hubris
I won't speak to the foolish
Only speak to the bullet
But hear the screams as I pull it

[Chorus]
Wake the fuck up!
Wake the fuck up!
Wake the fuck up!
Wake the fuck up!

[Verse 3]
If what I bleed is necessary
And thou shall be indefinite
I shall not speak my heresies
I shall not speak my messages
How come thy kingdom left me here?
How come thy kingdom sent me here?
How come my freedom never left?
Why can't I see the Nazareth?
Some nights I drink with reverence
I slur my speech with every sentence
I burn my teeth with every drank
I tell my peeps it's medicine
Life as a kid
The fuck happened to me?
My tragedy scene is seen
As the last bastion of me

[Verse 4]
So the day of judgement
Won't try to play republic
Won't try to sway the covenant
Absolve me, I'll stay repugnant
I hope that they fully clothed the body and raked the carcass
I hope that the bullet lodged inside me made its target
Let's be honest
Put me on a cross
Parade the corpus
'Cause with the way it's going
I'll just state the obvious
So don't hate me for it
I just hope I'll never be famous for it
The way of the bravest sorry
The blade is waiting for me I said I'm— (Sorry)

[Bridge]
Maybe it's disingenuous
Or maybe it's the fact that I'm starting to realize that I don't love myself
I'm spending all night attempting not to judge myself
And if given another body
Woulda hung myself
I'm on the last rope
Sad to think that I had hope
Dug my knees in the back row
Can't believe I was that strong
For these last words
Won't need any adverbs
Just the silence
'Cause I'm here and I'm screaming

[Chorus]
Wake the fuck up!
Wake the fuck up!

[Segue]
Wake the fuck up!
Wake the fuck up!
Wake the fuck up!
Wake the fuck up!
Wake the fuck up!
Wake the fuck up!
Wake the fuck up!
Wake the fuck up!
Wake the fuck up!
Wake the fuck up!
Wake the fuck up!
Wake the fuck up!
Wake the fuck up!
Wake the fuck up!
Wake the fuck up!
Wake the fuck up!

[Part II]

[Verse 5]
(Lord please
Deliver us
Deliver me)
It's been about a few days since I left this bed
(Lord please)
Almost feels like I'm left for dead, or maybe dead instead
(Deliver us)
I waste away 'cause I don't see any options
(Deliver me)
I can see that I'm conscious but I just feel like I'm rotting and
The lord forsaketh in awful places
(Lord please)
I'm dealing with loss of days, the ceiling is all I gaze as I rot away
(Deliver us)
I might do it but not today, see
(Deliver me)
There's a game coming out that I really wanna fucking play

[Verse 6]
So I'll just wither and soak, maybe a glimmer of hope
(Lord please)
Will slip me a note, I'm thinking it won't
(Deliver us)
'Cause for now I'll just divvy the rope and I'll see if it holds
(Deliver me)
I eat a lot and I'm bigger than most
Can't shake the feeling I'm gross
(Lord please)
Can't find me appealing at all
(Deliver us)
I know my loved ones need me to be strong
(Deliver me)
But this atrophy is fucking up my knees and my bones

[Verse 7]
So how do I keep going on?
(Lord please)
Has anybody got advice right 'fore I sign the lease on my soul?
(Deliver us)
If it's a battle for the weak and the strong
(Deliver me)
I really couldn't give a fuck less, I just need to be home
Right to the Mark of the Beast
(Lord please)
It shows is fangs as it sharpens its teeth, yeah
(Deliver us)
My armor's only gold plated, feeling like I'm clothed naked
(Deliver me)
And I know it won't save me if it targets my cheek

[Outro]
So through the blackened skies I will not go gentle
(Lord please)
Take it off safety and put it on my temple
(Deliver us)
Through the blackened skies I will not go gentle
(Deliver me)
I will not go gentle
