"Wake Up" lyrics

"Wake Up"

Wake up!

It's hard to be sure when you're certain
Harder still to come clean when you're dry
It's hard to believe when the truth is
Something tells you otherwise
And it's hard to arrive and not be there
Harder still to attempt and not try
It's hard to maintain the illusion
That you're never satisfied

Wake up!

Well it's hard to unwind the vicious circles
Harder still to repay borrowed time
It's hard to make sense when the
Senseless rule with an airtight alibi
Well it's hard to lose face with the faithless
Harder still to conceive the unsaid
It's hard to believe when the truth is
Something tells you otherwise

What kind of man bites the hand while still feeding
Takes all he can while the rest is receding?
What kind of man never feels his heart beating?
All those on favor scream... "This bears repeating!"

When the walls come tumbling down
They will fall without a sound

What kind of man bites the hand while still feeding
Takes all he can while the rest is receding?
What kind of man never feels his heart beating?
All those on favor scream... "This bears repeating!"
