Gotta get up
Gonna get up off the pavement
I've gotta get up
Gotta feel like i am able
Move myself back
Into the clean light, again
I won't let the fear
Get the best of me
I'll live in dreams
And i won't ever wake up
I need something real
And not fantasy
I wanted to be special
I wanted to be real
I've gotta get up
Gotta swim the lake of fire
I feel the heat on my face
I know this life
Will be the death of me
I don't care if i never get up
I need something real
But it's fantasy
I scream into the void
But the answers never come
I turn to walk away
When a voice calls my name
You'll never wake up
You won't ever be loved
All you work for isn't real
And all you dream and all you feel is just vanity
You'll never keep your sanity
You'll just lose the ones you love
The life that was
And even your family
You'll never feel the fame
They'll never scream your name
All you've got is fear and pain
And weight to gain
To change the way the game is played
You gotta fight with god and he-who-shall-not-be-named
Ah f*ck it, take me away
All the way
Somebody please tell me it's all been a dream
And shake me
Shake me, I'm dreaming
Somebody please tell me it's all been a dream
Tell me I'm dreaming
