"Rude Awakening" lyrics

"Rude Awakening"

This is the place where I go to emote
To fill and to spill and to burn and to choke
Where the feelings that I'm feeling, they all go up in smoke
And in flames go the words that I couldn't have spoke

This is the place where it all comes apart
Where the walls that I've built crumble down at the start
Of the music, 'cause I use it to pry open my heart
Force my inside to the outside while I'm calling it art

This is the place where it comes to a head:
The passion and the hatred, the doubt and the dread
Where I find that I'm unwinding at the tug of a thread
And I'm coming undone from inside my head

I cannot sleep
I can't fucking breathe
I'm strangled by silence
But here I can scream

You took someone broken, you made them feel brave
You took someone lost, you made them feel saved
'Cause in a world that tells us that we're wrong
You made me feel right, made me feel I belong

I cannot sleep
I can't fucking breathe
I'm strangled by silence
But here I can scream

Because inside me there is a violence
That only screaming could ever silence
Because inside me there is a violence
That only screaming could ever silence

This is where I come alive, this is what I need to survive
This is where I come alive, this is what I need to survive
I'm finally home
