Wake up! Wake up! My God! This is not a test! And it's not too late to come clean Get it off your chest So steady your hand before your face and concentrate There's got to be some stable ground Left to walk on So tear another page from the book Are you asleep or just alone? Clear this room from your lungs Pull yourself together Pull yourself together, man Pull yourself together Pull yourself together On your back, You're sleeping in a bed of shame Let the light breath some new life into this room It's what keeps you coming back Made up of insatiable taste Bury your head in your hands And sing into yourself Oh! Just what are you so afraid of? What are you so afraid of? You're staring truth in the face So come on down What are you so afraid of? You're busy living now, aren't you? You're busy making vows You're coming unglued Time is shorter than you know I know the light is blinding to the naked eye So why don't you take steps away from being alone? I swear, it's not too late for you It's all worth reaching for It's all worth reaching for It's all worth reaching for The hand to pull you out It's all worth reaching for The hand to pull you out Wake up! Wake up! Wake up! And step outside your box Wake up!

Held captive, I'm a prisoner In the back room where the water leaks and I'm oh, so cold Command me on what to do, but we both know neither you or I are in control There's nothing left for me here I'm grabbing on to what's left of this hole. It's all too real this can't be happening Never again, ever again, will I say I'm OK I'm scared of the fate that will become mine No time to talk you know the drill Under my desk this can't be it I'm only dreaming, I've got to be dreaming But I can't get up. No time to talk, not this time, this is my place This is where I arrange It's so funny how we see things so clear when we have no time left to live So lay back now and take it is I won't say a word. I won't say anything I can't believe how it feels To stand here in this room And feel like it's going to blow I think we're all going to blow I've got to be dreaming We've got to be dreaming Please don't wake me up This is the end.

In the end we tend to think of how it began I could never explain the picture it painted, and how it made me feel Now the ceiling is in motion The light centered and overlooked You want to see me disappear? Well, so do I Such a quiet evaporation We're nothing but hollow vessels in search of what makes us alive I never said this was my revolution when you looked me in the eye Oh, how I've walked this white line so many times before What a feeble attempt just to feel alive This is for you and your hopeless case You never would leave me in your wish to fail every time Every time I try So talk about it At least it makes you feel something inside Who have I become? Oh God, everything all around me is crumbling at my feet I stare so delicate and ashamed At the shell I've shed myself from I stare so delicate and ashamed In the eyes of my ghost In the eyes of my ghost And I will never look back And I will never And I will never look back again

The time has come for you to sit this out To fit inside your mold Would be to sell myself short This ground we tread upon Is now filling up to our necks We turn the pages left to right We see everything Oh, my story's growing, it is on my last request Don't make me feel so contradicting There's no room for cheating and being yourself Failure leaves such a bitter taste in my mouth And on the last hour We write so many new chapters again And on the outside Where there are no surprises Oh, it's getting longer To see it through their eyes Would bring me so much closer You can do this night after night Failure leaves such a bitter taste in my mouth Taste and see, I swear I know what's good Be still and know that they won't lie to you every single time you're facing lies I know why you never take your eyes off me I've used my lungs for everything but breathing I find myself dried up in this conversation So pull me out, pull me aside

Бог Богов, Господь возглаголал и призывает землю, от восхода солнца до запада. С Сиона, который есть верх красоты, является Бог, грядет Бог наш, и не в безмолвии: пред Ним огонь поядающий, и вокруг Его сильная буря. Он призывает свыше небо и землю, судить народ Свой: «соберите ко Мне святых Моих, вступивших в завет со Мною при жертве». И небеса провозгласят правду Его, ибо судия сей есть Бог. The mighty one, God the Lord, speaks and summons the earth from the rising of the sun to the place where it sets. Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God shines forth. Our God comes and does not keep silent, a devouring fire is before Him, and a mighty tempest all around Him. Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God shines forth. He calls to the heavens above and to the earth, that He may judge His people: "Gather to me my faithful ones, who made a covenant with me by sacrifice!" The heavens declare his righteousness, for God Himself is judge!

How peaceful it feels against my face Oh, what a long haul You brought me here for this I see nothing but disaster Now I'm taking you with me A transparent scenery that comes as fast as it leaves Now my eyes flash with the white It's settling in with all the flickering Here again The floor is more fitting for my face Here again? This is getting old I am being watched This is overwhelming Paranoia... As you dig your feet in I will sink my teeth into the floor, While I lay here alone As the light beings to breach the border, while I lay here alone Aware of every step I'm not aware at all Black... flash white... I am awake

Speak up My ears are growing weary I'll sing this to the end And watch the waves crash over me Not too much to overcome with enough time to turn it all around In a picture perfect scenery I've become a stick figure illustration My eyes roll back and focus on what's ahead I can still stand if you lend the hand to embrace me I'll take this on my own

Someone please turn the lights back on Ive been wandering here for days, disconnected, and in search for new air to breathe in I don't think I can fix this Don't think I could change But that's the problem We never speak to Him Our closing walls have caged us in And I cant quite remember This was the first time I didn't say enough This was the only time I kept it close enough Brace yourself! They're not waking up Oh, my God I hate the me that I've become, This needy useless forgetting one Truthfully I can't be the me that I've washed up to be Don't stop breathing The walls have just begun to spin Just let the water calm you this time It's all around you, just open your eyes and take a look It will never kill you; not this time It's all around you We're surrounded for all I care Brace yourself right now Lights out I'm not breathing I can't keep swimming, can't keep my head up

Maybe we, why don't we sit right here for half an hour? We'll speak of what a waste I am, and how we missed your beat again! I swear we need to find some comfort in this run down place To bridge the gap of this conscious state that we live in And I'm short of time How could you trust it (these fate trashed walls) To fit the shape of what they tell you Come on, move on, move on But mostly what they show you (Yeah, yeah) Not this way Not this way I'm taking back all the things I said Thinking back all the things I said (keep me filled in, I swear coming) We walk alone, We walk alone, We walk alone, We walk alone, We walk alone, We walk alone, back home My own back home You're almost gone and I'm okay (I still say you're sorry) to give you chance to be afraid But never I remember your presence I hope to God you come down I hope to God you feel this now I hope to, god you come down I hope to, (God) I know there must be some way out of here and all of them will be waiting there

In a deep breath it all starts to change. Flip my world inside out, honestly I like it better this way When I mesh the night through the back of my eyes I have put myself here I'm the culprit I am the culprit I've been swallowed up alive Shut down Building from the inside out I can finally walk through the walls I swear I've slipped right through the cracks in the floor It's so easy when it's pulling me under Now I can see things from the outside, and I will sit here with no place in mind I can't escape from his place, this is so unfamiliar to me I can hear the unsatisfying silence My mouth is open but none of you can hear me

So hold your head up high and know it's not the end of the road Walk down this beaten path before you pack your things and head home At the end of the road you'll find what you've been longing for I know 'cause my feet have the scars to show I was lost with vague direction and no place to call home It's time for you to press on This is not your war Set your sights to North and press on This is not your escape Wash way what they thought of you Because in this place, we're all as good as dead ...end cycle... Behind the mask you'll find yourself alone It's not the end of road for you
