The Wake
Opening with swirling synth textures and crisp electronic drums, the track layers angular guitar riffs and melodic bass underneath moody art rock chord progressions. Verses pulse with understated keys and subtle electronic flourishes, expanding into anthemic britpop-influenced choruses driven by soaring guitars and lush harmonies. The bridge experiments with dynamic shifts, introducing inventive synth leads and percussive effects, before resolving into a vibrant, alternative rock finale with a rich, cinematic buildup and release.

Lyrics
Gather round the casket
Life is on display
Just ask it a question
How do you feel this way?
Lying there peacefully
Village lined up for me
Can’t seem to breathe
No place to hide
I’m stuck inside
Can’t play with you all anymore
Can’t go outside
Heaven’s waiting after all
The wake
I can’t wake up
Can’t seem to move myself
My body seems so stuck
My soul
Still inside
Just for a moment more, before we say our last goodbye
The tears
Flow so easily
Are they for me?
I can’t believe it myself
They ask
So many questions
Do they get answers?
We feel their pain tonight
We feel their pain tonight
We feel their pain
The wake
I can’t wake up
Can’t seem to move myself
My body seems so stuck
My soul
Still inside
Just for a moment more, before we say our last goodbye
I can’t believe
I can’t believe
I can’t believe you all showed up
I can’t believe
I can’t believe
I can’t believe you all showed up
The wake
I can’t wake up
Can’t seem to move myself
My body seems so stuck
My soul
Still inside
Just for a moment more, before we say our last goodbye
