lyrics

Wake me as I force my way through hell
Get me out
I plead

I’m heading down, heading down the dark
The unlooked-for
A dead end

If you take them down then take me down as well
Get me out
I plead
I’m lying, dying here

So you woke up quite unsure you’ll make the day
They’re gonna rise and you’re scared to death
But hey
Hey

Don’t be this jerk
This drama queen
Show some guts

Build up the nerve and stand your ground
Go get some
Grab your knife and hold it tight

They crawl, they walk, they run
They’re catching back up with you

Run till it burns your guts
You’re way too clean to take it all
Now they’re making headway
And now they’re dealing with your mind
You’re shaking

You’re drawing down, you’re diving down these drowsy ghouls
You’re swimming through for sure

You’re drawing down, you’re diving down these drowsy ghouls
Just keep on howling in your sleeve
See, that’s courage to me

You’re drawing down, you’re diving down these drowsy ghouls
See? You don’t need me no more
Shall I, shall we, shall I?

I’m going down, going down, going down, going down, this sort of gate

I’ll walk away
Towards colder paths

I’ll build up the nerve and stand my ground
Go get some
I’ll grab my knife and hold it tight

I can feel the groans rising in my stomach
As they’re approaching my location

I brace myself and keep shattering my faith in life
As it slowly fades before my eyes

I’ll crawl, I’ll walk, I’ll run, I’ll be safe by the moonlight
Unless they catch me dreaming

I’ll crawl, I’ll walk, I’ll run I’ll be done when the sun sets
And if there’s any God left please call it out
