Lyrics

[Verse 1]
By the darkest river, beneath the leafless trees
I think I'm drowning, this dream is killing me
(Wake up, wake up... wake up)
In the coldest winter, between the fading lights
I feel I'm falling into a frozen sky
(Wake up, wake up... wake up)
Past the blackest heaven, above the dying stars
I watch me breaking into a million shards
(Wake up, wake up... wake up)
But through the hardest hour, below the cruelest sign
I know I'm waking up from this wretched lie
(Wake up, wake up)
Wake up
[Verse 2]
A depression fed by overload
False perceptions, the weight of the world
A universe in the palm of your hand
The artifice of endless strands
[Verse 3]
Distraction flows down an obsessive stream
Rejection grows into oppressive screams
[Verse 4]
The hardest hour, the cruelest sign
I'm waking up from this wretched lie
I fight it the same, don't waste this day
Wake up, wake up, wake up
Memento mori
[Verse 5]
The regression of advancing modes
And Imperial corrosive nodes
A prime directive to disconnect
Reclaim yourself and resurrect
[Verse 6]
Distraction flows down an obsessive stream
Rejection grows into oppressive screams
[Verse 7]
The hardest hour, the cruelest sign
I'm waking up from this wretched lie
I fight it the same, don't waste this day
Wake up, wake up, wake up
Memento mori
[Verse 8]
There's too many choices
And I hear their relentless voices
But you've gotta run them out
Return to now and shut it down
Shut it down
[Verse 9]
A depression fed by overload
False perceptions, the weight of the world
Because there's too many choices
Gotta kill their relentless voices
[Verse 10]
(Wake up, wake up)
I know I'm waking up from this wretched lie
[Verse 11]
The hardest hour, the cruelest sign
I'm waking up from this wretched lie
I fight it the same, don't waste this day
Wake up, wake up, wake up
Wake up, wake up
Wake up
Memento mori
[Verse 12]
Memento mori
