Wake me up Cause I'm inching through the days This town feels like a prison My mind feels like a cage Drag me across This blank and empty page So I can protrude something that might just make feel safe Spending year just plotting my escape Gripping fear and I can't stop counting days But these are my friends and this is my life If it cut me any deeper it would cut me life a knife Not down to size literally like a knife If I stay here any longer I think I'm gonna die I wanna believe I wanna stand for something I wanna break free I wanna fight the machine I wanna burn the system Then blame society Sometimes I just wanna believe Medicate me Cause I'm tired of feeling sick When I wake up in this room again I know I'll feel like shit Hoping I get better Knowing I been getting worse I'm busted up and broken down And I can't quite shake this curse I don't want to die not knowing That if I stay here am I coming or going To last not knowing if I ever had a chance Is it all that I had is it all the we have? I wanna believe I wanna stand for something I wanna break free I wanna fight the machine I wanna burn the system Then blame society Sometimes I just wanna believe I've been waiting in line Do we ever have enough It's been a long fucking time Since I really felt alive I think it cut me twice Once down to size and once like a knife I wanna believe I wanna stand for something I wanna break free I wanna fight the machine I wanna burn the system Then blame society Sometimes I just wanna believe
