Waking Up

(album: Show Me Tomorrow - 2012)

Are you just waking up? Can you see the sun down there?
Have you had enough? All your walls are closing in
So take those pills you love but they won't cover up the lies
or get you high enough to forget that you've chosen this life
I know I know I know that you've fallen
get up, get out of the hole that you've crawled in
Don't waste your time don't think you can't save yourself
One little word can break the spell

No, to those artificial getaways
No, to the chemicals that flood your veins
Damned if you don't, hope if you just say no
Damned if you don't, hope you can just say no

So that grave you dug, is it deep enough to hide
from the ones you love? Buried in your selfish pride
You've been searching for so long but you've missed every sign
pushing limits chasing demons now you've crossed the line
I know you know I know that you're falling
climbing too high, too fast, and then stalling
You need to change get out of your own way
you've gotta find the will to say

No, to artificial getaways
No, to the chemicals that flood your veins
Damned if you don't, hope if you just say no
No, to any fix sold quick and cheap
No, to that rush they sell you on the street
Damned if you don't, hope if you just say no
Damned if you don't, hope you can just say no

I know I know I know that you've fallen
get up, get out of the hole that you've crawled in
climbing too high, too fast, and then stalling
won't stop the pills, the demons from calling
Say no, say no, say no, man you've got this
You know, you know, you know you can stop this
Damned if you don't you've got to take control
Life is a train and you're the conductor
choosing your fate, derail and destruct or pull on the brake there's hope it's never too late
