Another hard winter went and came In the suburbs in a box with no knife You're sleeping still with your choices and your wives In an office building insulated from the outside Next to your mother you lay, a perfect stranger beside Wake up, you're dreaming again Some more hard truths God given a face Making the places we live in look like grace And there's just no way to know how long this will last But just freeze everything and see if it'll pass Or, or put it all on hold and see what takes You're in an alley forgotten you're not surrounded by likes Wake up, you're dreaming again And this is your nightmare This is the scene that you play This is the dream that you have When you know it's time to go and run away And this is important This may really be happening to you I'm watching you sleep Something has to get through I keep making rings, these rings around you Wake up, wake up Wake up, you're dreaming again Ringing in one more New Year's Eve all alone Heading to hills and the weeds are still overgrown Mark it another year that's fallen right into the cracks Are we learning anything? We will be able to come back? Well, the fear, it keeps us Wake up, you're dreaming again And here's to a building Cheers to a certain tougher skin You keep getting up from where you're at And starting over, and over, and over again The rock has no stop, stay frozen We will find you where you're at Lay there until you're bored to death And it's time to plan I hope you can make it Or make it back Wake up, you're dreaming again And this is your life now These are the choices that you've made This is the way that you feel in your heart The more it breaks I wonder if it's all real There's no easy way to rise and win One day it won't be this way So try to take it all in Take your time There's a trap and these circles that you happened to tie on Wake up, you're screaming Wake up, you're dreaming And this is your nightmare This is the scene that you play This is the dream that you have When you know it's time to go and run away And this is important This may really be happening to you I'm watching you sleep Something has to get through I keep making rings, these rings around you Wake up, wake up Wake up, wake up You're dreaming again
