Lyrics
[intro]
Alarm keeps going off I snooze it,
For one brief moment lost I'm lucid,
and in that state of non confusion,
I get a taste of truth beyond illusion.
I see with a clarity of vision,
But fitting with the parody I'm living,
it's right then when my reality kicks in
And I wake to the weight of my decisions.
[Verse 1]
then the moment's gone and I get going,
Pretend I'm strong won't stop or slowing
Put my mask on so I'm not showing
that something's wrong although I know it
And my day plays out in the same old lame mundane way that my days all do,
And I'm Left to try and figure out why I feel the same old deja vu.
[Pre-Chorus]
If I could tell the real from fake
I'd lead myself away from the misleading,
But I'm afraid I might not be awake,
A dreamer unaware they're sleeping.
[Chorus]
And in the air aloft I swear so soft
But I can hear it beeping,
somewhere far off alarm goes off
And I stay lost as I keep sleeping.
And it's my cross to bare the cost
unfair
the secrets they're keeping
somewhere far off alarm goes off
And I stay lost asleep and dreaming
[Pre-Chorus]
If I could tell the real from fake
I wouldn't ache with every breath of air I'm breathing.
Could it be that I am not awake,
A dreamer unaware they're sleeping.
[Chorus]
And in the air aloft I swear it's soft
But I can hear it beeping,
somewhere far off alarm goes off
And I stay lost as I keep sleeping.
And it's my cross to bare the cost
unfair to share the secrets they are keeping!
somewhere far off alarm goes off
And I stay lost asleep and dreaming.
[verse 2]
It's this persistent feeling
an insistent sense I'm missing something,
I hurl myself against the wall
but all in all it all amounts to nothing,
but all in all it all amounts to nothing,
so alarm goes off and I get going
another day lost floating away unknowing,
I hold on to this hope I'm holding,
to find a line a rope unfolding,
[Bridge]
And I'll define the way to shake myself and wake up from this purgatory,
and I'll be somebody new who's rested and ready to design their story,
[Pre-Chorus]
If I could tell the real from fake
I'd lead myself away from the misleading,
But I'm afraid I might not be awake,
A dreamer unaware they're sleeping.
[Chorus x2]
And in the air aloft I swear so soft
But I can hear it beeping,
somewhere far off alarm goes off
And I stay lost as I keep sleeping.
And it's my cross to bare the cost
unfair to share the secrets they are keeping!
somewhere far off alarm goes off
And I stay lost asleep and dreaming.
[end]
