Wake Up Dead ft. Mike Salow Lyrics

Set sights on the feed for

First time in a week or two today

And all that I can say's

It's lookin all the same, just a different day

Same lies just different sounding

Tired eyes no astounding things to see

Or news I can't believe

Or truths that bring me to my knees

Hope it looks like I've been trying

Cause although I'm inconsistent

I don't want my name to fade

Sometimes I only feel like crying

Like it's time for me to try my hand at

Playin' a different game

I've been wasting away

Haunted by the past and what my demons say

Life keeps racing ahead

Fixated and possessed by paranoia

You'll miss it or what's worse: you'll wake up dead

Woke up feelin hollow

Too much noise to follow here

Persistent ringing in my ears

Manipulating my fears

All I own feels so borrowed

All due dates set for tomorrow

Time to spin some records I know

Sing away some of this sorrow

Hope you'd never think I'm lying

Cause as well as I turn phrases

I can't take back what I said

And if it looks like I've been dying

I'm not finished nor prepared

To take my place among the dead

I've been wasting away

Haunted by the past and what my demons say

Life keeps racing ahead

Fixated and possessed by paranoia

You'll miss it or what's worse: you'll wake up dead

And all the best lines that I've never used

Are all the ones that I pretended I could say real smooth

In a ten-year-old white Altima

When I still thought I was on to somethin' hot

All the arguments that they would win

Although I'd never even had a single one of them

Drivin' down the highway singin' when the sky was dark

All the songs within my heart

Well if I had the life I'd wanted then

Who could know the kind of places that I would've been

Off the deep end, spiraling with no control

Or a box six deep under earth and stone

When I faced down God and shared my plans

I guess I didn't really think it would get such a laugh

Funny now to turn back looking at the things I've done

And the thing that I've become

I've been wasting away

Haunted by the past and what my demons say

Life keeps racing ahead

Fixated and possessed by paranoia

You'll miss it or what's worse: you'll wake up dead

I'm through wasting away

I'm through trippin' over all the lies

That all my demons love to say

This life keeps racing ahead

Fixated and possessed by paranoia

You'll miss it or what's worse: you'll wake up dead

You'll miss it or what's worse: you'll wake up
