Wake me up
Cause I'm inching through the days
This town feels like a prison
My mind feels like a cage
Drag me across
This blank and empty page
So I can protrude something that might just make feel safe
Spending year just plotting my escape
Gripping fear and I can't stop counting days
But these are my friends and this is my life
If it cut me any deeper it would cut me life a knife
Not down to size literally like a knife
If I stay here any longer I think I'm gonna die
I wanna believe
I wanna stand for something
I wanna break free
I wanna fight the machine
I wanna burn the system
Then blame society
Sometimes
I just wanna believe
Medicate me
Cause I'm tired of feeling sick
When I wake up in this room again
I know I'll feel like shit
Hoping I get better
Knowing I been getting worse
I'm busted up and broken down
And I can't quite shake this curse
I don't want to die not knowing
That if I stay here am I coming or going
To last not knowing if I ever had a chance
Is it all that I had is it all the we have?
I wanna believe
I wanna stand for something
I wanna break free
I wanna fight the machine
I wanna burn the system
Then blame society
Sometimes
I just wanna believe
I've been waiting in line
Do we ever have enough
It's been a long fucking time
Since I really felt alive
I think it cut me twice
Once down to size and once like a knife
I wanna believe
I wanna stand for something
I wanna break free
I wanna fight the machine
I wanna burn the system
Then blame society
Sometimes
I just wanna believe
