[Verse 1]

Wake up

Wake up

Wake up

Wake up

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, can't’s and cries

No she can’t be revived

Feelings can’t be described for a pain of such size

She lay with closеd eyes in this crib that I made

From thе cradle to the grave

Now more than just a phrase

I can’t be okay

I can’t call for help

‘Cause these cards she’s been dealt I with upon myself

[Pre-Chorus]

Cup my eyes with both hands

So no tears will be wasted

I’ll contain the pain

Sustained as I taste it

Wake Up

Wake Up

Wake Up

Wake Up

Cup my eyes with both hands

So no tears will be wasted

I’ll contain the pain

Sustained as I taste it

[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

I wish that 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

[Pre-Chorus]

Lift your hands to cover your eyes

To cover the cries

‘Cause the sucker inside, pride, makes you suffer inside

Wake Up

Wake Up

Wake Up

Wake Up

Lift your hands to cover your eyes

To cover the cries

‘Cause the sucker inside, pride, makes you suffer inside

[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

I wish that 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 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

‘Cause you may never wake up to this song

[Outro]

Wake Up

Wake Up

Wake Up

Wake Up

Wake Up

Wake Up

Wake Up

Wake Up
