Verse 1: Wake up in the morning to my everyday beginnings Know the plays for each inning So I move with no feelings But today starts with endings No movement no feelings As my tear hits the linen From this feature fear envisioned I reach and feel the chillness of her cold skin My own kin Sewn from my oats so these notes I won’t hold in Screams, cant’s and cries No she can’t be revived Feelings can’t be described for a pain of such size She lay with closed eyes in this crib that I made From the cradle to the grave Now more than just a phrase I can’t be okay I can’t call for help Cuz these cards she’s been dealt I with upon myself
Cup my eyes with both hands So no tears will be wasted I’ll contain the pain Sustained as I taste it
Wake Up
Chorus: I wish I could wake up and still be a teen And realize all I’ve seen was just a bad dream When you’re sewn in the seams Things all seem serene Hear the seer sing It’s just a bad dream
Verse 2: They say that nightmares are made of these painful scenes It’s hard to breathe I’ll make you see With ease he made the team For cheese you can’t believe His family relieved Debts paid, gets received Gets played and achieves great accolades Began to act a way that attracted hate Then one day after a game Teammate spat in his face Disgraced he attacked him with rage They clashed and crashed to his fate A fracture’s embrace as he awakes to a hospital bed With all uses lost in his legs And what is locked in his head Besides his locks and his dreads Is the life he once led With each breath he wished he was dead
Lift your hands to cover your eyes To cover the cries Cuz the sucker inside, pride, makes you suffer inside
Wake Up
Chorus
Verse 3: Realize the time you wasted Because we’re all aging And your favorite agents have gave you complications To your mind, body, and soul Deny, hardly you’re old Still you gotta pay the toll beyond the crossroads But before you cross over look at the life you darted over Think that you can start it over? You must not be sober Don’t be somber, just wander as your slumbering along Cuz you may never wake up to this song
