Lyrics
Wake Up
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.
Something filled up
My heart with nothing
Someone told me not to cry
But now that I'm older
My heart's colder
And I can see that it's a lie
Children wake up
Hold your mistake up
Before they
Turn the summer into dust
If the children don't grow up
Our bodies get bigger
But our hearts get torn up
We're just a million little gods
Causing rainy storms
Turning every good thing to rust
I guess we'll just have to adjust
With my lighning bolt so glowing
I can see where I am going
To be when the reaper
He reaches and touches my hand
With my lighning bolt so glowing
I can see where I am going
With my lighning bolts a glowing
I can see where I am go-going
You better look out below!
