Take Flight

Wake me up

The forces that fuel my ambition are coming undone

All of the meaning derived from existence

Cast into the Sun

And as I stare into the void

Contemplating my despair

A thief of joy leaves me ransacked

Ascend, never again

This crippled fantasy cannot mend

I feel the end closing in on me now

Take another breath and dream again

Wake up from the nightmare that you live

Don't let your heart be reduced to a hollow shell

I know the truth still remains clear

The truth still remains

Vanity consuming me

I realize now I've lost my way

Sleeping for days

But never dreaming

This blight plagues every night

Till I've forgotten why I still fight

And now I question why I'm alive, OH

Why am I still here?

Forever biding my time at the edge of a knife

Take another breath and dream again

Wake up from the nightmare that you live

Don't let your heart be reduced to a hollow shell

I know the truth still remains clear

Face the very fear that holds you in

Break free from your cage of porcelain

Throw all your doubts to the wind and you'll find yourself

Never forget why you came here

I know you're scared but

Don't let it hold you back

Now I see a faint light

Close your eyes, follow me down

I know there's still a piece of me left to be

Saved, one day we'll take flight

Endlessly, I'm counting the days, and writhing in pain

Wash away my dismay, absolve me of blame

Wake me

Why am I still here?

Take another breath and dream again

Wake up from the nightmare that you live

Don't let your heart be reduced to a hollow shell

I know the truth still remains clear

Face the very fear that holds you in

Break free from your cage of porcelain

Throw all your doubts to the wind and you'll find yourself

Never forget why you came here

Never forget why you came here
