Wake Up

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?
