WAKING UP
[VERSE 01]
I’m in my head a lot
And sometimes I wish I could stay there
Dancin’ with my thoughts
Where my dreams run wild and nobody cares
But my idealistic introversion
Contradicts my own aversion
To a world where hope is naive and
We all feel trapped by reality, so
[PRE-CHORUS]
Ooh, I gotta stop living inside of my head
Ooh, cause I can’t see the world from behind my eyelids
Ooh, what’s the point of dreaming if I don’t see them through?
Ooh, what’s the point of vision if I can’t see the view?
[CHORUS]
I don’t wanna waste away in a hold of my own making
Where I miss out on the myriad of colors saturating living
Where I spend my days craving memories that were or will be
So I’m waking up and breaking out of my dreamers sleep
[VERSE 02]
Lemme clarify
I’m not railing on imagination
But I’m tired of acting like
It’s a substitute for real sensation
Can we all lay down our cosmetic competence?
Give up our obsession with making sense?
Embrace knowing nothing at all?
And take leaps even if we’re gonna fall?
[PRE-CHORUS]
Ooh, I gotta stop living inside of my head
Ooh, cause I can’t see the world from behind my eyelids
Ooh, what’s the point of dreaming if I don’t see them through?
Ooh, what’s the point of vision if I can’t see the view?
[CHORUS]
I don’t wanna waste away in a hold of my own making
Where I miss out on the myriad of colors saturating living
Where I spend my days craving memories that were or will be
So I’m waking up and breaking out of my dreamers sleep
[BRIDGE]
I’m tired of my screen
So I stare out the window
And from my perspective
Escaping looks simple
If only I’d tear down the blinds
I could step out
And feel all the things
That I used to dream about
Used to be without
Used to disavow
Used to figure weren’t worth my time or my hopes
or my doubts or my trust or my tears
or my faith or my fears
But now that I’m standing here!
[CHORUS]
I don’t wanna waste away in a hold of my own making
Where I miss out on the myriad of colors saturating living
Where I spend my days craving memories that were or will be
So I’m waking up and breaking out of my dreamers sleep
