Alarm Goes Off

[intro] Alarm keeps going off I snooze it, For one brief moment lost I'm lucid, and in that state of non confusion, I get a taste of truth beyond illusion. I see with a clarity of vision, But fitting with the parody I'm living, it's right then when my reality kicks in And I wake to the weight of my decisions. [Verse 1] then the moment's gone and I get going, Pretend I'm strong won't stop or slowing Put my mask on so I'm not showing that something's wrong although I know it And my day plays out in the same old lame mundane way that my days all do, And I'm Left to try and figure out why I feel the same old deja vu. [Pre-Chorus] If I could tell the real from fake I'd lead myself away from the misleading, But I'm afraid I might not be awake, A dreamer unaware they're sleeping. [Chorus] And in the air aloft I swear so soft But I can hear it beeping, somewhere far off alarm goes off And I stay lost as I keep sleeping. And it's my cross to bare the cost unfair the secrets they're keeping somewhere far off alarm goes off And I stay lost asleep and dreaming [Pre-Chorus] If I could tell the real from fake I wouldn't ache with every breath of air I'm breathing. Could it be that I am not awake, A dreamer unaware they're sleeping. [Chorus] And in the air aloft I swear it's soft But I can hear it beeping, somewhere far off alarm goes off And I stay lost as I keep sleeping. And it's my cross to bare the cost unfair to share the secrets they are keeping! somewhere far off alarm goes off And I stay lost asleep and dreaming. [verse 2] It's this persistent feeling an insistent sense I'm missing something, I hurl myself against the wall but all in all it all amounts to nothing, but all in all it all amounts to nothing, so alarm goes off and I get going another day lost floating away unknowing, I hold on to this hope I'm holding, to find a line a rope unfolding, [Bridge] And I'll define the way to shake myself and wake up from this purgatory, and I'll be somebody new who's rested and ready to design their story, [Pre-Chorus] If I could tell the real from fake I'd lead myself away from the misleading, But I'm afraid I might not be awake, A dreamer unaware they're sleeping. [Chorus x2] And in the air aloft I swear so soft But I can hear it beeping, somewhere far off alarm goes off And I stay lost as I keep sleeping. And it's my cross to bare the cost unfair to share the secrets they are keeping! somewhere far off alarm goes off And I stay lost asleep and dreaming. [end]
