WAKE ME UP
Crown the Empire Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This world keeps pushing down upon me,
And I keep hoping for a sweet dream.

There's something left for me to see,
There's something left for me to be.

We can't ponder on this, world forever.
You know we can save it, if together
Growing, day by day to make it,
But my time's been wasted.

Wake me up, from this dream that never ends.
Haunting me, haunting me till my bitter end.
Wake me up, from this nightmare that I live.
Something inside of me keeps on giving in.

Well I keep searching for an answer,
But time will never tell, and you will never know.

And while my eyes are open wide, I'm sound asleep on the inside,

Wake me up, from this dream that never ends.
Haunting me, haunting me till my bitter end.




Wake me up, from this nightmare that I live.
Something inside of me keeps on giving in.
