Waking Up
I'm waking up
Is that not enough?
The first step is always the hardest
When you're trying not to dream
And the world is at your feet
The constant drip drip feed from the toxic fume headlines
Is a window into everything that holds me in my mind
I think I'm going blind
Yeah!
I can't get out of bed
I cannot stop this pounding in my head
It feels like the world is crushing me
So wake me when it's done
Apocalypse or utopian humdrum
Just wait a while and please just let me be
It's so tough to be a small wheel
In the giant world machine
When you're of no consequence
Though you fight and fight
Try to overcome your fears
Still the greatest thing that holds you down
Is your own dark gravity
So please just let me be
Yeah!
I can't get out of bed
I cannot stop this pounding in my head
It feels like the world is crushing me
So wake me when it's done
Apocalypse or utopian humdrum
Just wait a while and please just let me be
So we go and bury our heads so far in the sand
We'll cover up our ears and shut our eyes pray we won't understand
Cos when the day is over all is said and we made it out alive
It's only time 'til it starts all over again
(I can't get out bed
Can't get out of bed)
I can't get out of bed
I cannot stop this pounding in my head
It feels like the world is crushing me
So wake me when it's done
Apocalypse or utopian humdrum
Just wait a while and please just let me be
I can't get out of bed
I cannot stop this pounding in my head
It feels like the world is crushing me
So wake me when it's done
Apocalypse or utopian humdrum
Just wait a while and please just let me be
Is that not enough?
The first step is always the hardest
When you're trying not to dream
And the world is at your feet
The constant drip drip feed from the toxic fume headlines
Is a window into everything that holds me in my mind
I think I'm going blind
Yeah!
I can't get out of bed
I cannot stop this pounding in my head
It feels like the world is crushing me
So wake me when it's done
Apocalypse or utopian humdrum
Just wait a while and please just let me be
It's so tough to be a small wheel
In the giant world machine
When you're of no consequence
Though you fight and fight
Try to overcome your fears
Still the greatest thing that holds you down
Is your own dark gravity
So please just let me be
Yeah!
I can't get out of bed
I cannot stop this pounding in my head
It feels like the world is crushing me
So wake me when it's done
Apocalypse or utopian humdrum
Just wait a while and please just let me be
So we go and bury our heads so far in the sand
We'll cover up our ears and shut our eyes pray we won't understand
Cos when the day is over all is said and we made it out alive
It's only time 'til it starts all over again
(I can't get out bed
Can't get out of bed)
I can't get out of bed
I cannot stop this pounding in my head
It feels like the world is crushing me
So wake me when it's done
Apocalypse or utopian humdrum
Just wait a while and please just let me be
I can't get out of bed
I cannot stop this pounding in my head
It feels like the world is crushing me
So wake me when it's done
Apocalypse or utopian humdrum
Just wait a while and please just let me be
