Lyrics
Under The Knife
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Wake me up inside, tell me theres a reason, to take another step
To get up off our knees and follow this path of most resistance
Wherever it takes us, whatever it faces and wherever it leads
So wake me when it's through
I don't want to feel the things that you do
Don't worry I'll be fine, I just don't want this dream
Wake me up inside
Something for the pain, just to kill this feeling
Though we look awake, inside we're all still sleeping
And I spent my time here alive but barely there
Do you believe we'll ever make it, do you think we'll ever really say
So wake me when it's through
I don't want to feel the things that you do
Don't worry I'll be fine, I just don't want this dream
Wake me up inside
Wake me up inside, these dreams all die if we let them
Wake me up inside, today won't start if we just give in
(Cause you'll be anything)
Just wake me when it's through
I don't want to feel the things that you do
Don't worry I'll be fine
I just don't want this dream
Wake me up inside
