Cascading through darkness

Like waves through the ocean

No sound

The water's around

But the way that it's choking

Is keeping me open

I can't seem to swim my way out

Of the drowning in doubt

So please let me wake up

Please let me wake up

Please let me wake up

Please let me wake up

My eyes open slowly

I think I'm in my room

And I look around

But I see nothing now

And I start to feel cold

As the shadow unfolds

And I reach out to find it

But I can't decide if it's real

So please let me wake up

Please let me wake up

Please let me wake up

Please let me wake up

And the room gets smaller

And I feel the water

Creeping up my neck

And I know I'm next

And I start to panic

And I start to wonder

If I died

Would I wake up?

And I start to wonder

And I start to wonder

And I start to wonder

So please let me wake up

Please let me wake up

Please let me wake up

Please let me wake up

Please don't let me fade away, I'm not ready, no way

(No way, no way)

I'm reaching for the light, but the darkness pulls me back

(Keeps pulling, pulling back)

I hear voices whisper, telling me to let go

(Let it go, let it go)

But I'm fighting, I'm fighting, though my strength is low

(Keep fighting, keep fighting)

Memories flash like a movie reel, scenes of life once lived

(Life once lived, it's so vivid)

Can I break these chains? Can I still hold on?

(Hold on, hold on strong)

Or am I lost in this dream, forever gone?

(Forever gone, say it ain't so)

Echoes of the past vibrate through this fragile mind

(Echoes, echoes, don't leave me behind)

Will I awaken to the sun's warm embrace?

(To the sun, to the sun)

Or surrender to shadows, lost without a trace?

(Don't wanna fade, don't wanna fade)

Please, just let me wake up, let me breathe again

(Breathe, breathe)

Finding strength in the struggle, only time will mend

(Mend, time will mend)
