Rise Up

I'm a pretender, comatose I write forever

Hell or high water, it's only the drink that makes it better

Try to convince you, I've got one hand on the wheel

Why work hard to make a living, when it's easier to steal?

On and on and on it goes

Into the darkness, it's too late for you for light

It's only in the backstreet shadows, you begin to see the light

It's getting faster as these hours turn into miles

We keep this dream together just to keep these thoughts alive

On and on and on it goes

Rise Up, Rise Up over me

This trust you don't believe in, it's faith you need to see

Rise Up, Rise Up over me

Cause it's hard to know about freedom, unless you ain't been free

Are you looking for cover?

Or a way to drift apart?

From this moment you keep chasing

Just to fake a brand new start

Are we hiding? Is there none left?

'Cause it might be hard but it's harder than it needs to be

Rise Up, Rise Up over me

This trust you don't believe in, it's faith you need to see

Rise Up, Rise Up over me

Cause it's hard to know about freedom, unless you ain't been free

Rise Up, Rise Up over me

Rise Up, Rise Up over me

Rise Up, Rise Up

Rise Up over me

'Cause it's harder than it needs to be
