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
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
