Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Son, you're a long way west of us now
And God doesn't see you anymore
This map hasn't been completed
The landmarks are you and you alone
Is anything calling you back to your home again
[Chorus]
Are you waking up now?
Are you shaking in dust?
Or will you marry the lie before the truth kills all of us?
Is there nothing you'll leave behind
Or will you make it all fit?
Now you've gathered up everything you've done and carried it
[Verse 2]
Son, you're a far cry from defeated
But you have a rage that breaks my heart
And time isn't like an arrow
It's more like an axe that falls on you
Where past can be future happening in present day
[Chorus]
Are you waking up now?
Are you shaking in dust?
Or will you marry the lie before the truth kills all of us?
Is there nothing you'll leave behind?
Or will you make it all fit?
Now you've gathered up everything you've done and carried it
[Chorus]
Are you waking up now?
Are you shaking in dust?
Or will you marry the lie before the truth kills all of us?
Is there nothing you'll leave behind?
Or will you make it all fit?
Now you've gathered up everything you've done and carried it
[Outro]
Are you waking up now?
Are you shaking in dust?
Or will you marry the lie before the truth kills all of us?
