Waking Is Rising

This is the bitter end, I can feel it

No longer can I pretend

I'm going to make it out alive

One final resting place

A hollow fate I can embrace

Is there relief in a dying world that sets me free?

I lie still inside that room

But in time I'll be consumed

By the fire that rains down from the sky

As the ground divides, the earth will bleed

Who knew you'd be standing right there beside me?

At my funeral they will read

Dreaming is sinking, waking is rising

The last night that I saw you

I promised I wouldn't stay the same

But the awful truth is we never really change

No, we don't ever change

This cataclysm will put me in my grave

No, we don't ever change

But all I want is to see your face

But all I want is to see your face

I lie still inside that room

But in time I'll be consumed

By the fire that rains down from the sky

As the ground divides, the earth will bleed

But who knew you'd be standing right there beside me?

At my funeral they will read

Dreaming is sinking, waking is rising

You'd think that after all this time I'd learn to give it up

But still I run and hide

But I cannot escape this place, this dream I'm dying in

I've run out of time

No one's watching over me

Dreaming is sinking, waking is rising

The louder that I scream, no one hears me

The more that I'm awake, I'm still dreaming

I've fallen as the vultures start to circle

I'm descending so quickly but I'm reaching towards the surface

I'm descending so quickly but I'm reaching towards the surface

This is the bitter end, I can feel it

I can feel it

My eyes roll back, the world decays

I find relief, I'm no longer suffering

Will I awake to the light of day

Or will the sun collapse and annihilate?
