Wake Me Down 06:05
WAKE ME DOWN I can feel there's something wrong with this world But I can’t fill that void within since the day I was born No matter how hard I tried, the choice is mine I’d give anything but I still cannot understand the way Wake me down I'd take the red pill in your hand Wake me down now I beg you, wake me down I just want to tear the veil If I have to, then I'll go all the way down again I can see there's something behind the veil But I can't stop that voice within that pushes me to seek It would be so much easier to close my eyes Out of the question to sink into the waking dream of life Wake me down I'd take the red pill in your hand Wake me down now I beg you, wake me down I just want to tear the veil If I have to, then I'll go all the way down again Wake me down I just want to leave Wake me down now I just want to live Wake me down I'd take the red pill in your hand Wake me down now I beg you, wake me down I just want to tear the veil If I have to, then I'll go all the way down again If I have to, then I’ll go down again and again

WHATEVER IT TAKES Minutes pass, still no sign I’m trying hard to stick it out I can’t breathe, heart tight I think to myself “oh no not again” Heaven knows it makes me recall those darkest hours of my past How the hell am I supposed to face this again? I’ll do whatever it takes Tell me what you please I’ll do whatever it takes Tell me what’s the one last thing that needs to be done I keep replaying it in my mind Over and over again Still waiting for a change But I just can’t take it anymore Heaven knows it makes me recall those darkest hours of my past Who the hell said they only have sixty minutes? I’ll do whatever it takes Tell me what you please I’ll do whatever it takes Tell me what’s the one last thing that needs to be done now I wish I could take your pain away I can only hope for the best I’ll keep holding your hand till the bitter end Till Life do us part I’ll do whatever it takes Tell me what you please I’ll do whatever it takes Tell me what’s the one last thing that needs to be done

ESCAPE THE CYCLE I don't know how this all began But nothing really fits None of this seems real Oh God save me, please I’m staring at the walls, it seems they’re closing in on me Suffering leaves me no respite I'm dying from my heart out Open sore, frozen scar It’s getting worse day by day until I die I find myself cherishing hopes I should have no right to try to conceive Today’s the day I swear to myself I'll make them pay for taking the only light I feel like I'm emerging from darkness into even blacker shadows Oh God forgive me, please I don't care anymore about what's right or wrong It takes on another meaning as I feel that nothing really comes to an end You can all go to hell, for what I care… I find myself cherishing hopes I should have no right to try to conceive Today’s the day I swear to myself I'll make them pay for taking the only light in my world My heart is burning with sadness and rage You’re the only thing I can think of Sorrow is consuming my soul I'm afraid of being cursed and contagious I find myself cherishing hopes I should have no right to try to conceive Today’s the day I swear to myself I'll make them pay for taking the only light in my world

YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE THE ONE I don't know if you could ever be the one who's turning a blind eye Holding back searing tears I don't know how you could ever be the one to take words for it It would be an upside-down world I'll never be that one I can never end... Please don't make this harder You don't have to be the one pretending everything is fine Keep faking smiles while ignoring lies You don't have to be the one who's begging for another chance Hold on secrets, look back and regret, 'cause after all... Maybe this time you could ever be the one who's wasting his whole life You're slowly losing your mind But no one else could ever be the one who'll put its faith again Curiosity kills in the end I've never been that wrong before Please don't give up You don't have to be the one pretending everything is fine Keep faking smiles while ignoring lies You don't have to be the one who's begging for another chance Hold on secrets, look back and reject them all Nothing will ever be the same again Whatever happened, how could I look you in the eyes As I'll ever be To be the one who could forget Words are failing me Sometimes it's better to do nothing at all As I'll ever be To be the one who could forgive Now it's time to leave It's now or never and it's better than nothing at all You don't have to be the one pretending everything is fine Keep faking smiles while ignoring lies You don't have to be the one who's begging for another chance Hold on secrets, look back and reject them all Nothing will ever be the same again Whatever happened, how could I look you in the eyes Nothing will ever be the same again I'd spend a lifetime waiting for the right time But I know it will change nothing at all

DO YOU FIND MY WAY? Are you dreaming when you're falling on the ground? I tried to catch myself Are you dying while you're lying on the ground? Remorse is something I tend to lack Do you find my way? Show me, deary I've no clue and words won't do Do you find my way? Lead me along on the path to what's beyond Do you find my way? Do you find my way? Are you wondering if what you feel is real? I only live for your pleasure Are you trying to show me the way out? I am the one that has to walk through Do you find my way? Show me, deary I've no clue and words won't do Do you find my way? Lead me along on the path to what's beyond Do you find my way? Do you find my way? I guess I have to escape the maze I'm a mouse trapped in my mind Where is this going to end? We live only as long as the last person who still remembers us I guess you'd say that you are the Way I'm begging on my knees Are you the Truth, are you the Life? Isn't the pleasure of a story discovering the ending by oneself? Do you find my way? Show me, deary I've no clue and words won't do Do you find my way? Lead me along on the path to what's beyond Do you find my way? Do you find my way? Do you find my way?
