Lyrics:
Are you waking now?
There’s empty words that fill this void of conversations in my heavy head.
Thoughts are completed in what this mind allows, so grasp what you can.
My ears can sigh in relief cuz it’s a rehearsed story.
It’s something familiar to have on repeat.
Eyes open, mouths eat, so what’s changing?
We’re staying high in a memory.
Innocence raised a glass half full.
The image is heavy, your body’s forgiving - seen from afar but ignored.
I think it’s time to be heard.
Fear is high on the pedestal, but voices are fading with age.
With no reaction or blame, you’re awake now in life’s perspective gain -
can you forgive yourself?
When will the art not be driven by anger?
When will this mind fuckin rest in peace?
With tired eyes, they read the same.
On heavy eyes, no feelings changed.
We’re staying high in a memory.
Innocence raised a glass half full.
The image is heavy, your body’s forgiving - seen from afar but ignored.
I think it’s time to say it, embrace it’s time to be heard.
Are you waking now?
