about

"Wake Again" is based upon the hardships of addiction, delving into the troubled state of mind of both the addict and the loved ones surrounding them.

lyrics

Unstable ground;
Constantly the run around.
Straight line the sorrow
without a single sound.
Here I lay,
as things become clear as day.
This high's the closest
thing to love I'll chase.

Feel sorry for yourself,
'til it rips through your veins;
then feel nothing at all
for those whose lives you've stripped away.
Then you stumble back home,
fall asleep in your bed;
prepared to never wake again.

Racing mind,
uneasy feeling all the time.
Key in the lock,
solace to leave me blind.
Lie awake,
delusioned dreaming keeps me safe.
This denial's,
all that holds me sane.

Feel sorry for yourself,
'til you see that mistake
then you pass on the blame,
to the sick and deranged.
Then you look in the mirror,
immune to what you see.
Prepared to live
in a fallacy.

I'm sorry for things that
you think I did to you,
but you were absent when I
needed you the most.
I'm in too deep now,
I can't get out.
There's been too much to weigh me down,
I can't get out.

Feel nothing but a shell,
as the mars lights approach.
That mistake is dead and gone
there's a knife to your throat.
Then you look in the mirror
horrified by what you see.
Then you turn to the bottle
stumble back to your bed.
And you're prepared
to never wake again.
