Face down with the LA curbside ending In ones and zeros. Downtown was the perfect place to hide. The first star that I saw last night was a headlight of a man-made sky, but Man-made never made our dreams collide.
(chorus) Here we are now with the falling sky and the rain, We′re awakening Here we are now with the desperate youth and the pain, We′re awakening Maybe it′s called ambition, you′ve been talking in your sleep About a dream, We′re awakening
Last week found me living for nothing but deadlines, With my dead beat sky but, this town doesn′t look the same tonight These dreams started singing to me out of nowhere And I don′t know if I′ve ever felt so alive, alive
(chorus)
I want to wake up kicking and screaming I want to wake up kicking and screaming I want a heart that I know is beating, It′s beating, I′m bleeding. I want to wake up kicking and screaming I want to live like I know what I′m leaving I want a heart that I know is beating, It′s beating, I′m bleeding
Stripped of life, alone In the midst of something that I Want to play with your evil inside wanting, letting go, of what never could be again Lost and alone Imprisoned now inside your mind With the way you tried To destroy me again You were waiting and living for no one With the way you tried To completely refuse all your life
Feed on your nothing You′ll never live up to me
[Chorus:] Awaken you With a little evil inside Feed on your nothing You′ll never live up to me I′ve stricken you I don′t want to live with the lie Feed on your nothing And you′ll never live up to me
Awaken you, oh no, Can′t live up to me I′ve striken you Feed on your nothing and you can′t live up to me
There isn′t a thing that I can do Watching the whole thing just wash away Making me long Making you strong
Buried words Under lights Soundtrack to this stagnant life This meaning lost in translation Message sucked out of his hands again This could be my great awakening But how would I know Cuz it′s all noise to me Are these words falling on deaf ears? Staring at the empty stares Realize that he no longer cares about the wrong or right The downward spiral begins tonight And this could be my great awakening But how would I know cuz it′s all noise to me Are these words falling on deaf ears? This could be my great awakening But how would I know cuz it′s all noise to me (Nothing I can do will make you hear)
I will feel so blessed This kid of mine (Mine) Even was this water Has turned to wine (Wine) I will feel the Pleasure, my wounds are sick (Sick) So confused I′m rest less consumed within (Within)
In this sad less maze I suffocate When everyone around me Drives me to end To shed my face And change my ways When everyone around me Drives me to the end of silence
Tell me what′s the Motive behind this scene (Scene) Suffering Now captain refuse to leave (Leave) Know that I surrender There′s no more threat (Threat) Living this injustice Without regret (Regret)
In this sad less maze I suffocate When everyone around me Drives me to end To shed my face And change my ways When everyone around me Drives me to the end of silence
I′ll wait for the rain I′ll wait for the rain
I will suffo...
In this sad less maze I′ll suffocate When everyone around me Drives me to end To shed my face And change my ways When everyone around me Drives me to the end of silence
Needless to say, another day has passed away Yet everything, and nothing, has changed Awake I lie, my thoughts get lost up in the sky Yet everything, and nothing, has changed...
Maybe a mystic - with fortunes to tell... Surrender my coin at the old wishing well... Maybe the stars will align in the night... To show me the path that is right
′Would′ve been′s and ′could′ve been′s they waste my days away the colors of my life dissolve and fade to gray
So many paths of promise Indecision poisons my mind If only I had seen the signs - so blind
Yet I must journey on - on and on
A haunting vision torments me It smothers and steals my dreams I see an old man in the mirror cold and bitter starring back at me
Here I am - at the crossing of life I stand On my own - looking down the road Hear my cry - answer me Still I′m searching yet the truth is unknown - though the night is cold I walk the road alone
