Wake Me Up

Wake Me Up

Fail and hide I can’t work it out on my own
Cast aside circling round in turning storms
Still you’re out of my reach and my days are spent
by stealth
Needing you here so that I can be myself

Come wake me up

All on my own when so suddenly in grief
Moaning to silently to be perceived
Here I still lie where I fought and where I fell
Do they deserve I would hide it all too well?

Come wake me up

It caught me while I lazed - now everything’s displaced
I seem to need a lot of sleep -
falling so deep
A life-line that was torn - me facing it alone
How could I be so slow to see? –
refusing to feed
I’ve been believing (for so long)
Only deceiving (it’s all wrong)
Read the look on his face - just a fraction too late

All the pain felt while digging out this grave
Any more loss I know I could never face
Alone in a maze where I neither wake nor dream
A life so fragile I never did believe

Come wake me up

Now I fought in your place - for no more life to waste
Come round and see my message please -
it’s open to read
Lead me to the sun - there and back again
Release me from this torment please -
bring back my peace
You’ve been believing (for so long)
I’ve been deceiving (it’s all wrong)
Truly all I now need are few words so hard to speak
So please show you’re with me -
and with you I will weep.
