lyrics

[Verse 1]
I swear I had a dream I could buy my way to Heaven
Cept I ain’t got no cash, life goes much faster than expected
Shit’s been hectic, I been wreckless, dwelling on these second guesses
Nights I’m restless, I been stressing, fucking up my head and shit

And I ain’t been seeing any benefits, it’s getting harder to see a light
I sleeping all day cuz it’s fucking hard to sleep at night
I’m barely holding on, accounts is over drawn
Yeah it’s all my fault, I know I’m in the wrong

I know I don’t belong, city’s gonna eat me alive
On the verge of letting out everything that I keep inside
Everything I ain’t accomplish, gives me an inferiority complex
Constantly on edge, I’m nauseous, overly cautious

I’m only loud when I’m drunk, I can get obnoxious
But that liquor is the only thing I know that can stop this
Mix that with these prescriptions, it’s giving me blurred visions
I know it’s absurd to mention, I just want to submerge in this

[Hook]
I want ya to wake up, wake up
Wake up from your sleep
It feels like a bad dream
Spent too much time asleep
Wake up from your sleep

[Verse 2]
Everything you said did you really mean it?
Everyone I seen switch, got me feeling seasick
Guess I missed the boat and I’m just trying to stay afloat,
I still harbor resentments, but I’m trying to keep it at bay

Damn, that ship has sailed, so just keep it away
Still a couple of things, that fuck with me to this day
Just wasted a year of my life, stuck in this hell
Aint getting nothing done, just feeling sorry for myself

I couldn’t say no, I shouldn’t say yes
Say it isn’t so, don’t know what you’d expect
The days go slow, the months faster than you’d guess
Stuck in this hole, post traumatic stress

Like some un- dramatic test, life is a daydream
Everything they say to me, I can’t face these things
So I just stay asleep, wake me with this over with
I just feel so damn sick, fuck I don’t know where I’m going with this



[Verse 3]
I want you to wake me from this hell, living a nightmare
Depression doesn’t fight fair, when you’re down it’ll kick you right there
Anxiety attacks and night terrors, what’s the reason
I’m still feeling defeated and completely depleted

I know that every breakthrough is soon followed by a relapse
I don’t know what it takes to stop falling into these traps
It’s sur-real, but I’m trying to stay cerebral
My inner conflicts between my id and super ego

It’s clear, it’s the fear of looking in a mirror
And not liking what you’re becoming, what you’d give to be young again
Because I didn’t like the direction that my life was taking
So instead of waiting, I decided to make a change then
