Wake Up

(album: Elegies - 2016)

Wake up
Wake up

We're burning up like embers in the breeze
You're leaving your body right in front of me

And even though we tried
To make it back on parts that would never do
I didn't care 'cause I had you
And if we don't survive
And all the pieces start to come unglued
I'm glad I fell apart with you

Why won't you let me in again?
We've practiced this a thousand times
Just lift the latch, let me inside
Oh why, won't you let me in?
I know the sleepy feeling must be nice
But hear my voice, open your eyes

Here we both collide
Into the ocean that we both came from
The wall's on fire but I feel numb
Underwater at least 100 feet
And the surface looks like a sheet
Of ice. Can you hear me scream? I'm right outside

Why won't you let me in again?
We've practiced this a thousand times
Just lift the latch, let me inside
Oh why, won't you let me in?
I know the sleepy feeling must be nice
But hear my voice, open your eyes

We are sinking down so low, so low
You are sleeping now, don't go, don't go
We are sinking down so low, don't go

I know that we can have a future
But you have to hear my call
It's time for us to go home
And leave these broken parts
I know that you're weighed down by water
But I have to get you out
It's time for us to go, no
I can never let you drown

Why won't you let me in again?
We've practiced this a thousand times
Just lift the latch, let me inside
Oh, why won't you let me in?
I know the sleepy feeling must be nice
But hear my voice, open your eyes

I know that we can have a future
But you have to hear my call
It's time for us to go home
And leave these broken parts
I know that you're weighed down by water
But I have to get you out
It's time for us to go, no
I can never let you drown
