Take Flight

Wake me up

The forces that fuel my ambition are coming undone
All of the meaning derived from existence
Cast into the Sun

And as I stare into the void
Contemplating my despair
A thief of joy leaves me ransacked
Ascend, never again
This crippled fantasy cannot mend
I feel the end closing in on me now

Take another breath and dream again
Wake up from the nightmare that you live
Don't let your heart be reduced to a hollow shell
I know the truth still remains clear
The truth still remains

Vanity consuming me
I realize now I've lost my way
Sleeping for days
But never dreaming

This blight plagues every night
Till I've forgotten why I still fight
And now I question why I'm alive, OH

Why am I still here?
Forever biding my time at the edge of a knife

Take another breath and dream again
Wake up from the nightmare that you live
Don't let your heart be reduced to a hollow shell
I know the truth still remains clear

Face the very fear that holds you in
Break free from your cage of porcelain
Throw all your doubts to the wind and you'll find yourself
Never forget why you came here

I know you're scared but
Don't let it hold you back
Now I see a faint light
Close your eyes, follow me down
I know there's still a piece of me left to be
Saved, one day we'll take flight

Endlessly, I'm counting the days, and writhing in pain
Wash away my dismay, absolve me of blame

Wake me
Why am I still here?

Take another breath and dream again
Wake up from the nightmare that you live
Don't let your heart be reduced to a hollow shell
I know the truth still remains clear

Face the very fear that holds you in
Break free from your cage of porcelain
Throw all your doubts to the wind and you'll find yourself
Never forget why you came here

Never forget why you came here
