Wake Up by Cheb Amin Lyrics
(Wake up, wake up)
Darlin'
(C'mon, wake up, wake up)
I'm dreaming
(C'mon, please, wake up!)
Huh?
Losin' my head, at least I got a liver
At least I can run even though I could be fitter
They say our generation killing, even though we don't litter
They say put your hands in the air to my brothers 'fore they pull the trigger
But my brothers would call me corny to stand with 'em
And the others will stay cold, old, and bitter
But the truth is, you pull up to my friends, aye what’s up
(Nah, nah, nah, nah)
I don’t think I can say that
Depends on who you ask, cause it just goes way back
Sherman and I are just stuck in the Wayback
Chasing all my organs way past their limits
I'm lost, I'm timid
I'm tripping, I'm spitting
I'm giving this fire
I'm giving Kitchen Sink a listen and remembering a color
And remembering a summer
And remembering a lover
And remembering a bug: her
(Wake Up!)
I lost her, I see strangers, so I ponder
The sonder story that runs through their veins
And I go insane when I consider the end
So I just take a breath and tend to restart
I can feel my heartbeat stall
As I stare at this art and remember times I can't recall
Running down the hall, right into a wall
The birds, Montreal
Oh I gotta call
I see my exes eyes, yeah I gotta call
Oh I just miss her so much, I gotta call
Chorus:
I cannot though
I can't go
(Wake Up)
I can try to feel alive
(Wake Up)
I can try
I can try
I can fly before I die
I cannot though, cause she cannot know
How much I care, hiding my emotions
They say they want us to show it
I don’t get that notion
Cause I let them go, man
And low and behold
They start giving me some hope man
It’s so cold, it’s so cold, trying to cope man
It’s so cold, it’s so cold, coping, Hagen
I'm coping, I'm hating, I'm losing, frustrated and faded
And young and insane
Delusional grandiosity takes over my brain
And my friend is in the ground, how do you numb the pain?
Medicate, just the same that killed him
I miss you, bro, I’d give anything to have you living
Give anything to have them listen
Your smiles, yeah I miss them
Time is just a figment that I just feel trapped in
I just can’t stop thinking, I can’t stop (w)rapping
Up this foil and tossing and turning
And tripping in toil
I read Freud as my soul spoils
Falling underneath the soil
I can feel the recoil in my brain, it's blank
I see purple every time I feel the Rain
Blue every time I'm switching lanes
Red everytime I close my eyes
Green everytime i check my grades
Green every time I check my bank
But pain every time I check my heart
And pain every time I play these games
(Wake Up)
Chorus:
I cannot know
Where I'll go
(Pst, Pst, Pst)
I can try to realize
I can try
I can try
I can try and chase the lights
Verse 3:
So, I guess we just living in a fantasy and I am kinda psyched up
We cut cables to light up
I pull out the doc, and I write up
How you got me tied up
Because your love has dried up
And my brain is fried, uh
I often wonder when life’s done
Don’t stop dancing, well I might run
The days long, but the nights fun
We went from RiceGum to nice gun
From lice yuck to spice rum
(So?)
When did we fall victim to the gloom?
Fall victim to the doom
I feel clueless, every June
Every fall, every time I close my eyes
I’ll run the race, I’ll blurt my lines
They’ll put my face on shirts and shrines
I look up to the summer sky
Look up to the summer sky
Can’t look in my lovers' eyes or else I see the other side
The show is short and then you die
Outro:
Why'd you wake me up, darling?
I was dreaming!
I was dreaming!
Spoken:
Hahaha, I still am!
Don't stop running, do not stop running!
Do not stop dreaming!
(I can't stop running now)
(Wake up, wake up!)
Hahaha
(Hahaha)
I love you guys, I miss you bro
I'll catch you when I'm done dreaming
Darlin'
(C'mon, wake up, wake up)
I'm dreaming
(C'mon, please, wake up!)
