lyrics

Wake up, everybody’s leaving, I guess it’s time to go
Thousands of strangers passing, and passing by
Urban junkie spilling selfishness and apathy
Losing myself, no big surprise for this everlasting flow

It’s weird, I know, tell me, are we all lying sorry
For things we never said, time we haven’t spent
For love we’ve lost or haven’t found, it’s scary
Never fell from hope so high
Everybody, everybody’s gone

Wake up, everybody’s hiding, I guess it’s all we know
We’re millions of actors shining and fading by
Modern killers covering shamefulness from sympathy
Losing myself I’ve rolled the dice for better tomorrows

It’s weird, I know, tell me, are we all lying sorry
For things we never said, time we haven’t spent
For love we’ve lost or haven’t found, it’s scary
Never fell from hope so high
Everybody, everybody’s gone

If you’re passing by
Won’t you stop a second
It’s been so long, I blew it all
And I miss you

Sailing over the deep waves of my oblivion
I wonder can we ever rise feeding this kind of blue

It’s weird, I know, tell me, are we all lying sorry
For things we never said, time we haven’t spent
For love we’ve lost or haven’t found, it’s scary
Never fell from hope so high
Everybody, everybody’s gone

Wake up,
Wake up,
I think it’s time to go
