08 - PROJECT CRISIS - WAKE UP

WAKE UP I sit by the water, writing down these words for you, While this heavy silence breaks my bleeding heart in two. I’ve found the one who sees me, underneath the outer skin, Without the masks and filters, you’re the reason I begin. I learn from you daily, though you think it’s not your place, Every look and word defined the value of our space. I would change direction, walk a completely brand-new track, No rose-tinted glasses, I see clearly, looking back. Deep inside my soul I feel you belong right next to me, Though you’re running circles, breaking pieces silently. But you’re paralyzed by worry, I can see the pain you hide, Frozen by your fears, you choose the shadow deep inside. Sometimes people love us with everything they hold within— And yet they lack the courage for the battle to begin. You seek logic in the sorrow, while my heart burns in your chest, 'Cause you'd rather lose my future than to wake up from the rest. You're so used to taking blows, just keeping up the fight, Trying your whole life to keep another world upright. But where are you remaining through the sacrifice you made? I’m searching in the darkness, but I watch your image fade. You try to be so rational, with logic in your hand, Building walls of thoughts just like a castle made of sand. You think that you can hit standby, focused on the goal, But life has got no pause-button, this game demands your soul. Why do all your fears suddenly hold such immense power? Hoping someone else decides to save you in this hour. 'Cause you don't want to be the villain in the final view, But this hesitation steals our luck, line by line from me and you. Sometimes people love us with everything they hold within— And yet they lack the courage for the battle to begin. You seek logic in the sorrow, while my heart burns in your chest, 'Cause you'd rather lose my future than to wake up from the rest. You say the children suffer if you pack your bags and leave, But they will suffer more to see their fading mother grieve. When you fall to old patterns and completely lose your spark, Just functioning inside a shell and freezing in the dark. You push it off to tomorrow, running from what is true, But when you finally make your choice... what happened to us two? Sometimes people love us with everything they hold within— And yet they lack the courage for the battle to begin. You seek logic in the sorrow, while my heart burns in your chest, 'Cause you'd rather lose my future than to wake up from the rest.
