Wake Up The Town Lyrics

I’ve been screaming all through the night
(Screaming through the night)
And I’ve been cursing every day that you’ve been alive
(Alive)
I’ve been working since you stole adolescence
You will never foresee it, you will never forget it

I’ve been watching as the plagues go by
(Will you let yourself die)
And I’ve been grinding my teeth in spite
(Then you think we survive)
I’ve been thinking about the day that you left
I could never foresee it, I will never forget it

I cannot pick up the pieces with these broken fingers

Wake up the town, burn the bridges down
Wake up the town, build up the walls now
Build ‘em up so tall no one can get out
Get out
Get out
Get out
Get out

I've seen them dying since the night(?)
(Buy the sins from the sight (?))
And I’ve been cursing his name while you pray at night
(So pray at night)
I just hope that you get a taste of your own
Not enough, just a sip, but enough that you drown

I cannot pick up the pieces with these broken fingers

Wake up the town, burn the bridges down
Wake up the town, build up the walls now
Build ‘em up so tall no one can get out
Get out
Get out

And if you ever see our dad
Will you please tell him that I slit his throat in this dream I had
I cannot pick up the pieces with these broken fingers
(Oh no)
I cannot pick up the pieces with these broken fingers

Wake up the town, burn the bridges down
Wake up the town, build up the walls now
Build ‘em up so tall no one can get out
Out
Out
Get out

I’ve been watching as the plagues go by (Will you let yourself die) And I’ve been grinding my teeth in spite (Then you think we survive (?)) I’ve been thinking about the day that you left I could never foresee it, I will never forget it

I cannot pick up the pieces with these broken fingers

Wake up the town, burn the bridges down Wake up the town, build up the walls now Build ‘em up so tall no one can get out Get out Get out Get out Get out
