Woke up to a brighter day
Burned holes in the grimy haze
Laid bare, not prepared
To find so much rotting under there
We pull back on the dirty sheets
Exposes our diseases too
A blindfold can be comforting
We don't fear what we don't believe
We distrust the sheep we know
Wolves all dressed up in shepherds clothes
We stay safe if we stay in line
And forget one day our time comes too
Take away this heavy toll
Back to where we need to go
Wake me up when we're sold
We stand behind the things we say
We're punching well above our weight, oh yeah
We stand behind the things we do
We're punching well above our weight, we do, do you?
Bright flash to a darker grey
To pitch black in a rapid fade
Let go of what we know
Shed weight with a looser grip on those
We retouched our memories
Can't stop re-editing them too
Choices that we do not make
Are voices that will guide our fate
Make room for something new
Break down the walls that block your view
If freedom is to separate
We help them conquer us, its true
Take away this heavy load
Back to where we need to go
Wake me up when we're sold
We stand behind the things we say
We're punching well above our weight, oh yeah
We stand behind the things we do
We're punching well above our weight, we do, it's true
