Wake Up

[Chorus: Luke Porter]

Wake up every morning and I can't get out of my bed

But this life keeps going on and on

Should've seen the warnings now I can't get out of my head

But the fight keeps going on and on


[Verse 1: Steven AF]

Wake up every morning and I'm doubting myself

I'm so down and out, feel like I'm drowning now

And I'm Stuck on the roundabout, another lonely night

I've got some friends in my life but they can't be there all the time

I find my mind state deteriorates

Feel like I might have to break to become great

Maybe that's a fact, face the past

The last great disaster, helped me get passed a whole lot of shit that I didn't wanna deal with

But to heal it I've really gotta feel it

Sit with this real shit, slowly reveal it

And pick apart the life lessons

I know this life's messy but there is a message if we tune into our essence

Zoom out from my selfish stress

I just wanna do my best with what I've been giving

I'm living for a bigger mission now

I see it in my vision now, but I still


[Chorus 2: Luke Porter]

Wake up every morning and I can't get out of my bed

But this life keeps going on and on

Should've seen the warnings now I can't get out of my head

But the fight keeps going on and on


[Verse 2: Steven AF]

Even though I've got so many vices my advice is

Treat life like it's priceless and you'll like it

What else really matters you know

Doors close then open windows and where the wind goes, no one knows

But you gotta find meaning in the rhythm like morse code there's no score so, you should stop all this comparing

Compassionate and caring as you are to others

It's really hard to love ourselves

Scars covered up are felt deeply

Man it beats me, everyday's a repeat

Cram to eat sleep and breathe maybe just a little

See this is just a riddle

Bleed when we start to whittle

We are so very brittle

Seeds of our grief sown in disbelief

But it's this belief that helps me carry on

We'll get through it

We can take it

We're meant to do it

We're meant to make it

Everybody needs some trust keep going

But we get stuck when we're holding on to the stuff that just don't belong

And I understand, We like to think we can plan

Work it all out in advance, but we've fallen in a trance

And it's not the best always thinking 'bout the future

When we're lost obsessed, always thinking 'bout these new things

And the cost is that we're never right here in the moment to

Hold it, and love it, and feel it, and touch it, and really be free

From the future, from the past

And these emotions, that won't last

I don't know, I think I'm lost

I've never been this exhausted

And I'm feeling like I might never make it to my dreams with these hardships

Maybe I should learn to be content regardless

In the garden, letting down my guard when a butterfly lands upon my heart saying pardon

It's all gonna be okay

Look at me, I'm just living in a simple way

Don't fret about things that you haven't attained

And there's strength in the pain, you should never be ashamed

Try your best, it's okay to be afraid

Live your life your own way, don't worry what they all say

And give yourself a break

Everyday heroes don't wear suits and capes they just


[Chorus 3: Luke Porter]

Wake up every morning and I can't get out of my bed

But this life keeps going on and on

Should've seen the warnings now I can't get out of my head

But the fight keeps going on and on
