Woke 3

(Intro beat) Eyes wide shut, mind wide open Dreaming through the motions, reality’s a potion Truth in disguise, in a world so broken Consciousness raised, but the pain’s unspoken [Verse 1] Woke up in a matrix, vision all hazy Seeing through the veil, man, this world’s so crazy Living in a place where the truth’s too lazy Ignorance is bliss, but this bliss won’t save me Mind in the cosmos, feet on the street Ideas in the clouds, but I’m feeling the heat Questioning everything, but the answers retreat Chained to the grind where the lost find defeat Eyes wide open, but the pain won’t fade Calling out the flaws, never throwing no shade Preaching to the choir, but the song’s a charade World’s on fire, and we got played Woke to the struggle, but the struggle’s inside Fighting with my demons, man, there’s nowhere to hide Seeing all the signs, but the meaning’s denied In the land of the blind, I’m just along for the ride [Chorus] Woke but blind, see the signs, redefine Living in a world where the truth’s hard to find Eyes wide open, heart locked, confined Walking through the dark, searching for the light, rewind Woke but blind, see the signs, redefine Living in a world where the truth’s hard to find Eyes wide open, heart locked, confined Walking through the dark, searching for the light, rewind [Bridge] Awareness like a puzzle, pieces scattered, man, it’s grim Knowledge like a muzzle, silence closing in Wisdom’s just a hustle, battles we can’t win Enlightenment’s a struggle, this journey’s wearing thin Standing at the crossroads, soul tied in knots Mind caught in limelight, truth tangled in plots Seeking out answers in a world that forgot Questions we ask are the battles we’ve fought [Verse 2] Woke to the system, trapped in its web Dreaming of freedom, but my soul’s in debt Eyes on the prize, but the path ain’t set Living in a lie that we ain’t seen yet Spitting to the masses, knowledge in my bars Speaking truth to power, but the wounds leave scars Caught in a cycle, woke but still far Shadows of illusions, reality’s bizarre Mind’s a labyrinth, thoughts intertwine Conscious of the chains, but still in a bind Seeking liberation in corridors of time Echoes of the future that our past can’t define Eyes open wide, but the vision’s all blurred Voices in the silence, truth’s never heard Woke to the illusion, but the lines are slurred Reality’s a prison, freedom deferred [Chorus] Woke but blind, see the signs, redefine Living in a world where the truth’s hard to find Eyes wide open, heart locked, confined Walking through the dark, searching for the light, rewind Woke but blind, see the signs, redefine Living in a world where the truth’s hard to find Eyes wide open, heart locked, confined Walking through the dark, searching for the light, rewind [Verse 3] Dreams of ascension, soul in a trance Dancing with shadows in a twisted romance Seeing through the fabric of this world’s expanse Woke to the essence, but missed the chance
