Wake The Dead

Intro

Mm

Yeah

Sparks in the dark

Verse 1

Staring at the ceiling fan

Count the cracks I understand

My own name feels counterfeit

Sirens sing me back to it

Built a fortress out of spite

Every brick a sleepless night

Screaming at a silent sky

Wondering who hears me cry

Pre-Chorus

I'm hollow I'm heavy I'm holding on

Wide awake till the ache is gone

I'm biting back the bitter part

Grinding gears in a rusty heart

Chorus

LOUD ENOUGH TO WAKE THE DEAD

I'm still swinging with a wire thread

Nobody's coming to save my skin

So I save myself again

WAKE THE DEAD

WAKE THE DEAD

Post-Chorus

Go go go

Rise up slow

Go go go

Let it blow

Verse 2

Shattered glass across my knuckles

Concrete days and paper troubles

Teacher told me I was wasted

Now I spit the words I tasted

Every scar a small confession

Every bruise a raw lesson

Choke the panic swallow pride

Drag the monster out inside

Pre-Chorus

I'm breaking I'm bending I'm still not through

Wired tight with a fuse or two

I'm clawing at the quiet wall

Halfway here and halfway fall

Chorus

LOUD ENOUGH TO WAKE THE DEAD

I'm still swinging with a wire thread

Nobody's coming to save my skin

So I save myself again

WAKE THE DEAD

WAKE THE DEAD

Post-Chorus

Go go go

Rise up slow

Go go go

Let it blow

Bridge

Scream until the speakers crack

Scream until you want me back

Scream until the rafters shake

I am not the thing I break

Breakdown

RISE! UP! RISE! UP!

Rap Break

Ghosts in the machine keep talking

Shadows in my sneakers keep walking

Tick tick time is a liar

Fuel me up I'm a slow-burn fire

Teeth clenched grip the rail

Lost the map but I won't fail

Hands up for the hollow ones

We are the damaged daughters and sons

Final Chorus

LOUD ENOUGH TO WAKE THE DEAD

Take the ruin from my head

Nobody's coming to save my skin

So I save myself again

WAKE THE DEAD

WAKE THE DEAD

Outro

Go go go

Rise up slow

Go
