Scratch a message on the wall Thirteen years ago Watch it chip away and fade Like time-lapse video Shake you off You pull me under I feel like I am better off alone Am I dreaming? I can't bear the feeling I'm not the only one out here You live in the city You are one of them Scowled out through tired eyes And trudge along cement I live up in my head I am on my own The end of my existence Is unknown It's been ten years since I picked up The things I left behind I took the train as far as it can go I get lost when I try To shake you off You pull me under I feel like I am better off alone Is it daylight? Or can I sleep away My life I feel the inertia You live in the city You are one of them Scowled out through tired eyes And trudge along cement I live up in my head I am on my own The end of my existence Is all I've ever known Chase me down I feel like I could wake up any moment now Block it out But remember all you have to do is shout It's time to wake up now It's time to wake up now
