Wake Me Up

Zebrahead

I want a wrecking ball

I want to break it all

I want to jump the track

Fade the day to black

It's in the elements

In the elements

Is what they meant

And the world is bent

Give me something to believe in

A drop of hope to raise our fists up high

Blood fills our lungs from screaming

We won't live a lie

won't live a lie

This life is but a dream!

[Chorus:]

So wake me up

Cause I must be dreaming

I can't believe what my eyes are seeing

Yeah wake me up

I can't find a meaning

Nothing really matters when

the world is sinking

Down, down. down

When it all falls

Down, down, down

Who will you blame?

I want to be what I'm not

I want to care a lot

I want to stop your fall

I want to take it all

It's never Heaven sent

Never heaven sent

And what they meant

never made a dent

Give me something to believe in

A drop of hope to raise our fists up high

Blood fills our lungs from screaming

We won't live a lie

won't live a lie

This life is but a dream.

[Chorus]

Trust is breached

We're misunderstood

We try to find our way

But we're falling down

Nothing to hold on to

No one there to catch you

And I could never lie to you

I said we're fucking falling down

Nothing to hold to

No one there to catch you

And I know you'd never lie

Give us something to believe in

This life is not a dream!

[Chorus]
