"Take Flight" lyrics
Wake me up
The forces that fuel my ambition are coming undone
All of the meaning derived from existence
Cast into the sun
And as I stare into the void
Contemplating my despair
A thief of joy leaves me ransacked
Ascend, never again
This crippled fantasy cannot mend
I feel the end closing in on me now
Take another breath and dream again
Wake up from the nightmare that you live
Don't let your heart be reduced to a hollow shell
I know the truth still remains clear
The truth still remains
Vanity consuming me
I realize now I've lost my way
Sleeping for days
But never dreaming
This blight plagues every night
'Til I've forgotten why I still fight
And now I question why I'm alive, OH
Why am I still here?
Forever biding my time at the edge of a knife
Take another breath and dream again
Wake up from the nightmare that you live
Don't let your heart be reduced to a hollow shell
I know the truth still remains clear
Face the very fear that holds you in
Break free from your cage of porcelain
Throw all your doubts to the wind and you'll find yourself
Never forget why you came here
I know you're scared but
Don't let it hold you back
Now I see a faint light
Close your eyes, follow me down
I know there's still a piece of me left to be
Saved, one day we'll take flight
Endlessly, I'm counting the days, and writhing in pain
Wash away my dismay, absolve me of blame
Wake me
Why am I still here?
Take another breath and dream again
Wake up from the nightmare that you live
Don't let your heart be reduced to a hollow shell
I know the truth still remains clear
Face the very fear that holds you in
Break free from your cage of porcelain
Throw all your doubts to the wind and you'll find yourself
Never forget why you came here
Never forget why you came here
The forces that fuel my ambition are coming undone
All of the meaning derived from existence
Cast into the sun
And as I stare into the void
Contemplating my despair
A thief of joy leaves me ransacked
Ascend, never again
This crippled fantasy cannot mend
I feel the end closing in on me now
Take another breath and dream again
Wake up from the nightmare that you live
Don't let your heart be reduced to a hollow shell
I know the truth still remains clear
The truth still remains
Vanity consuming me
I realize now I've lost my way
Sleeping for days
But never dreaming
This blight plagues every night
'Til I've forgotten why I still fight
And now I question why I'm alive, OH
Why am I still here?
Forever biding my time at the edge of a knife
Take another breath and dream again
Wake up from the nightmare that you live
Don't let your heart be reduced to a hollow shell
I know the truth still remains clear
Face the very fear that holds you in
Break free from your cage of porcelain
Throw all your doubts to the wind and you'll find yourself
Never forget why you came here
I know you're scared but
Don't let it hold you back
Now I see a faint light
Close your eyes, follow me down
I know there's still a piece of me left to be
Saved, one day we'll take flight
Endlessly, I'm counting the days, and writhing in pain
Wash away my dismay, absolve me of blame
Wake me
Why am I still here?
Take another breath and dream again
Wake up from the nightmare that you live
Don't let your heart be reduced to a hollow shell
I know the truth still remains clear
Face the very fear that holds you in
Break free from your cage of porcelain
Throw all your doubts to the wind and you'll find yourself
Never forget why you came here
Never forget why you came here
