Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Wake up, sleepy, wide awake
[Verse 2]
I am the walking dead
I am death's best friend
I create disaster
I'm the master killing me
There's no innocence
There's only pain, I'm empty
[Verse 3]
Master, master, save me
Master, master, can you help me?
Don't give up on me now
'Cause that's what I've already done
My body's breaking down
I feel my mind getting numb
[Verse 4]
Why do I hurt myself?
Why can't I escape this hell?
I am always blaming, always chasing broken dreams
I keep screaming out, but no one ever hears me
[Verse 5]
Master, master, save me
Master, master, can you help me?
Don't give up on me now
'Cause that's what I've already done
My body's breaking down
I feel my mind getting numb
Bleeding from my disconnection
Lost inside myself
Forsaken by my own reflection
Abandoning myself
[Verse 6]
I'm wide awake
(On myself)
I'm wide awake
(Give up, give up)
(On myself)
(Give up, give up)
I'm wide awake, save me
[Verse 7]
Master, master, save me
Master, master, will you help me?
Don't give up on me now
'Cause that's what I've already done
My body's breaking down
I feel my mind getting numb
Bleeding from my disconnection
Lost inside myself
Forsaken by my own reflection
Abandoning myself
[Verse 8]
No
I'm wide awake
