Waking Up

Look

I’m sick and tired of all this shit and pretending

Look

I’m sick and tired of all the fairytale endings

Look

I don’t know how I’m supposed to survive like this

But look

I know in my heart that there is more to life than this

A million fake smiles

A million lost dreams

A million traps and tears and losses

I know

I know that all this must come to an end

And I know

I know that everything is temporary

But what is this life

What are these days

What are these hopes and dreams and fears

What is the point

The point of all this

What is the point of loving just to lose again

What is this life

What are these dreams

What are these aspirations

Longings

Cravings

And oh

The people will hear our voices

And oh

I know

I know

I know

I know that love

Is never ever wrong

I know that hope

Will keep this flame alive

I know

That all of these silly little lies I hear

Will all come back to bite their speakers in the ass

And oh

I know

I know

I know

I know

I know

I know that now

A million little tears

A million days spent sobbing

My eyes out

They’ll all help me move along

Help me gain strength

Help me move against what’s wrong

They’ll help me figure out

Who I am

Why I’m here

What I want to do with my life

What is my purpose

What is my name

What is the point loving just to lose them in the end

But now

I’m here and I’m here to stay

And now

I want to fight for my life again

I want to see the good mix with the bad

I want to know

What it’s like

To have a life

Of my own

To speak

To hear

To sing

Another song

And I’m ready for the next chapter of my life

I’m ready for a reason to get out of bed

The reasons have always been there

I just haven’t wanted to see

But now I do

And now

I’m moving forward again

And now

I’m moving towards something new

Something bright

Something to mix the darkness with the light

And now

I’m willing to try again

Willing to open my heart to all the people I have been to scared to love

I’m willing to want again

I’m willing to talk about my problems

To talk about my life

To talk about the wrongs and rights

And now

Now I’m ready to make a stand

Now I’m ready to raise my voice

Now I’m ready to face the horrors of this world

With light

Let the darkness be overwhelmed by light

Let the shadows creep back until they’re gone

Let the inner demons run away and fall

Let it all

Crash

Down

Let us build

This

Light

Let us start

To

Fight

Again

Because now

I’m

Waking

Up
