Lyrics
Intro (Female – ghostly, extended)
Ooohhh…
Aaahhh-ahhh…
I’m still bre-e-e-eathing…
Verse 1 (Female – soft, fragile)
I stitched my heart with shaking hands
Every scar still understands
I learned the cost of letting go
Now I feel it… slo-o-o-ow
I don’t run into the light anymore
I knock twice at every door
Every feeling asks for war
Before it to-o-ouches my core
Pre-Chorus (Female – stretched, building)
I used to fall without a sound
Now I hear my fear too lo-o-oud
Chorus (Female – BIG, melodic, extended)
Wake me u-u-u-up
But don’t tear my ski-i-in
I’ve been bu-u-urned
Before I let you in
Wake me u-u-u-up
I still fe-e-e-el
But I think too mu-u-uch
Before what’s real
Post-Chorus (Female – vocalizing)
Ooohhh-ohhh…
Aaahhh…
I’m not numb… I’m a-wa-a-are…
Verse 2 (Female – stronger, controlled)
Love feels different on my tongue
Every truth weighs more than one
I don’t bleed like I did before
But it still hurts… ju-u-ust as raw
I built a wall beneath my skin
Not to hide, but to survive within
If you want in, don’t rush my breath
I’ve been dancing close to de-e-eath
Chorus (Female – fuller)
Wake me u-u-u-up
I won’t break a-ga-a-ain
I’ve grown la-a-ayers
Over pain
Wake me u-u-u-up
I still cry-i-i-i
But my heart thinks fi-i-irst
Before it tries
Screamo / Gutural Bridge (Male – raw, emotional, explosive)
I GAVE TOO MUCH
I LOST MYSELF
I BLED FOR LOVE
NOW I BITE BACK
TRUST IS A KNIFE
I HOLD IT TIGHT
ONE MORE CUT
AND I WON’T SURVIVE
YOU CALL IT FEAR
I CALL IT SKIN
I WON’T LET YOU
GET IN
Breakdown (Female – whisper to cry, extended)
Ooohhh…
This skin saved my li-i-i-ife…
Final Chorus (Both – MAX impact)
Wake me u-u-u-up
I’m alive, but gua-a-arded
Every hea-a-art
That I started
Wake me u-u-u-up
I still lo-o-ove
But my god…
Is that too mu-u-uch?
Outro (Female – fading, haunting)
Ooohhh…
I still feel…
But I think…
I think too mu-u-uch…
