lyrics

Wide awake and breathing
All alone in a crowded room.
Could've sworn I'm dreaming,
I keep choking on the fumes.

How did I get here
Disconnected from the roots?
Now the message is clear.
Now it's time to face the truth.

How can you... How can you say,
"Pick up the pieces,
Unburden yourself,
Learn how to live
Without anyone else."?

How can you... How can you say,
"Look to tomorrow,
Give up the ghost.
That's in your past,
let them reap what they sow."?

If we could see tomorrow
Deep in the scars of yesterday...
Such a cliché to borrow,
Can't find the words that I need to say.

Should I go find my peace with God
Cause there's nothing here left for me?
Or do I learn how to fight a war
that's been burning for centuries?

Who's gonna save me now?
A moth to the flame always burns from desire.
I got to save me now. Somehow.

I've got to save me now.
The plans that we made tend to fade when it rains.
I've got to save me now. Somehow!

No one can save me now.
It comes down to me, and I've been here before.
So I got to save me now,
And tear down the walls that I've built all around.

Cause what took so long to build up
only takes one push to break down.
Watch how I save me now...
Watch how I save me now.
