Death By Fire Lyrics
Wake up
Wake up
Wake up
Your life has stalled somewhere
And you just sit and stare
And as each day (each day) runs away (runs away)
Children scream as you lay waiting
They must think,
“What is worse: not being loved
Or not loving anything at all?”
Wake up
Wake up
I hope you ignite what thrives inside
Break through
You’ve got to find a way to feel alive, alive again
Or would you rather watch the world
From you windowsill
Like the animal you became?
Or maybe tear your nails from your cuticles
As the devil praises your name?
Remember: no one will ever ask how young you are
So please
Wake up and find someway to find yourself
I hope you ignite what thrives inside
Break through
You’ve got to find a way to feel alive, alive again
I hope you ignite what thrives inside
Break through
You’ve got to find a way to feel alive, alive again
Wake up
Wake up
Wake up
Wake up
Wake up
And you just sit and stare
And as each day (each day) runs away (runs away)
Children scream as you lay waiting
“What is worse: not being loved
Or not loving anything at all?”
Wake up
I hope you ignite what thrives inside
Break through
You’ve got to find a way to feel alive, alive again
From you windowsill
Like the animal you became?
Or maybe tear your nails from your cuticles
As the devil praises your name?
So please
Wake up and find someway to find yourself
Break through
You’ve got to find a way to feel alive, alive again
Break through
You’ve got to find a way to feel alive, alive again
Wake up
Wake up

See for us it’s like no one is really happy anymore It’s like we all try so hard to search and seek relief from ourselves We try so hard to put ourselves in those spaces In that state of being, that feeling And it’s sad, it’s sad by definition It’s that dragging, the stringing along, chained up with your own confusions Where you’re so fucking lost you can barely even face it another day, another moment, another minute Like you’re stuck in some dreamless state An amnesiac wandering, sleepwalking through a waking world We are all like messengers, We’re all … sinners… adrift And it tears you apart
