about

Sometimes your own darkness has to swallow you up, feel like an endless nightmare, with bottomless abysses ...
before you get the insight and strength to change something.
"Wake me up" is a very personal song about the desperate desire for redemption and the long journey towards the realization that the only thing that can wake you up from the nightmare is your own strength.

lyrics

Behind the mirror
And those empty eyes
I kid myself with a thousand lies

The shell is a fallacy
I'm caught in my agony
The shell is a fallacy
I'm caught in my agony

Wake me up, wake me up
I am dazed
Wake me up, is this real
I can't feel
Is this real

I'm in a golden cage
Can't find way out
Breath life into
And make it fall apart

The shell is a fallacy
I am caught in my agony
The shell is a fallacy
I'm caught in my agony

Wake me up, wake me up
I am dazed
Wake me up, is this real
I can't feel
Wake me up,
Please wake me up,
I am dazed
Is this real?

Deeper and deeper
Fading away
What does it take to say

Deeper and deeper
Fading away
What does it take to say
I am not okay

Wake me up, wake me up
I am dazed
Wake me up, is this real
I can't feel
Wake me up, please
Wake me up,
I am dazed
Is this real?
