Waking is Rising

[Verse 1]

This is the bitter end

I can feel it

No longer can I pretend

I’m going to make it out alive

One final resting place

A hollow fate I can embrace

Is there relief in a dying world that sets me free?

[Pre-Chorus]

I lie still inside that room

But in time I’ll be consumed

By the fire that rains down from the sky

[Chorus]

As the ground divides, the earth will bleed

Who knew you’d be standing right there beside me?

At my funeral they will read:

Dreaming is sinking, waking is rising

[Verse 2]

The last night that I saw you

I promised I would stay the same

But the awful truth is we never really change

No, we don’t ever change

This cataclysm will put me in my grave

No, we don’t ever change

But all I want is to see your face

(But all I want is to see your face)

[Pre-Chorus]

I lie still inside that room

But in time I’ll be consumed

By the fire that rains down from the sky

[Chorus]

As the ground divides, the earth will bleed

Who knew you’d be standing right there beside me?

At my funeral they will read:

Dreaming is sinking, waking is rising

[Breakdown]

You’d think that after all this time I’d learn to give it up

But still I run and hide

But I cannot escape this place, this dream I’m dying in

I’ve run out of time

No one’s watching over me

Dreaming is sinking, waking is rising

The louder that I scream, no one hears me

The more that I’m awake, I’m still dreaming

I’ve fallen as the vultures start to circle

I’m descending so quickly, but I’m reaching towards the surface

You gave up on me, I gave up on you

I’m descending so quickly, but I’m reaching towards the surface

This is the bitter end

I can feel it, I can feel it

My eyes roll back

The world decays

I find relief

I’m no longer suffering

[Outro]

Will I awake to the light of day?

Or will the sun collapse and annihilate?

(Dreaming is sinking, waking is rising)

Will the sun collapse and annihilate?

(Dreaming is sinking, waking is rising)

Will the sun collapse and annihilate?
