Awakening

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.

Face down with the LA curbside ending

In ones and zeros.

Downtown was the perfect place to hide.

The first star that I saw last night was a headlight

of a man-made sky, but

Man-made never made our dreams collide.

(chorus)

Here we are now with the falling sky and the rain,

We're awakening

Here we are now with the desperate youth and the pain,

We're awakening

Maybe it's called ambition, you've been talking in your sleep

About a dream, We're awakening

Last week saw me living for nothing but deadlines,

With my dead beat sky but, this town doesn't look the same tonight

These dreams started singing to me out of nowhere

And in all my life I don't know that I ever felt so alive, alive

(chorus)

I want to wake up kicking and screaming

I want to wake up kicking and screaming

I wanna know that my heart still beating,

It's beating, I'm bleeding.

I want to wake up kicking and screaming

I want to live like I know what I'm leaving

I wanna know that my heart still beating,

It's beating, it's beating, it's beating, I'm bleeding

(chorus)

Here we are now with the falling sky and the rain,

We're awakening

Here we are now with the desperate youth and the pain,

We're awakening

Maybe it's called ambition, you've been talking in your sleep

About a dream, We're awakening dream

We're awakening
