Lyrics

Softly, as the voice turned to screams
Fighting every single word in my dreams
Back to a time when I don't even know you
And they don't make 'em like they used to
I am the son, she speaks out loud
A victim to the happiness that makes her proud
We must be broken, smiling when she's choking
And fighting for air
Wake up
You need to wake up
And I don't wanna be alive today, I'd rather hide away
'Cause everything nice got a lot to say
And these bones grow old with the laughter
The blood so bitter the morning after
Screaming I don't wanna hold you, I just wanna hold you down
Old record playing I don't wanna hold you, I just wanna hold you down
You need to wake up
We need to wake up
And those songs for beginners got me through cold winters
'Cause at the heart of my life's been long Decembers
It grows so cold where I lay my head
And I still got monsters in my bed
I try to be a better man but better is so far away
When happiness is just another word people say
Filled with the assumption that life is self-destruction
Waiting for the moment we all malfunction
Broken and human, comfortable seclusion
We make the music so you can say I knew them
Complex beauty in the way that we fight
Knuckled up, scarred fists, the wrong and the right
Bleeding for those needing a breath of fresh air
Do what we can 'cause we know that you care
Screaming at the walls, you need to wake up
Screaming at the walls, you need to wake up
You need to wake up
You need to wake up
Softly, a voice turns into screams
Every single word fighting words in my dreams
Back to a time when I don't even know you
And they don't make 'em like they used to
I am the son, she speaks out loud
A victim to happiness that makes her proud
We must be broken, only smiling when she's choking
And fighting for air
We need to wake up
You need to wake up
Oh God, we need to wake up
You need to wake up
And these feelings grow hollow, a tough thing to swallow
Hoping I feel a bit better by tomorrow
Drenched in the loneliness and only you know this
The song that we sing just feels so hopeless
It's been a rough year putting love in the dirt
Face grows old with the feelings of hurt
And the work gets tiresome but we can't quit
'Cause everything that we are lives inside of it
This abandonment of our commitment
Is something that I may never be a man to admit
And if the day comes, bury me with break drums
Share our albums with all your loved ones
Then rebuild the happiness with love and laughter
One more beautiful, ugly disaster
You might think different if you ever had a
Glimmer of hope the morning after
Wake up
You need to wake up
Wake up
You need to wake up
Wake up
The love, the life, the breath, the laughter
The morning after
The love, the life, the breath, the laughter
The morning after
The love, the life, the breath, the laughter
The morning after
The love, the life, the breath, the laughter
The morning after
