311 - Wake your Mind up

CHORUS:
Wake your mind up
Clear your eyes up
Move and rise up
Before your time's up
Clock is ticking
You're caught slippin
Stop to realise
Look and listen
Well I guess
That's life
When you see
A dark road up the way
And I guess
That's life
When you gotta
Roll through anyway
Now don't scream
Don't fight
Fear never ever
Made it go away
Same ghost town as yesterday
Made you feel like
Love was miles away

Repeat chorus

Now those sleepless nights
Thoughts just cloud up my brain
Feeling helpless
Repeating the same old
Memories of pain and
I wish it would rain, yo
Gimme starlit skies for dreamland
I kow it's really smaller
Than it seems but when
The pressure
Gets under my skin
I just wanna get out and
Scream in the wind, yo

The world we're livin in
Is complicated
The streets that we walk on
Are dark and jaded
A wandering soul that's
Filled with hatred
In it is poison
The youth is tainted
Social engineering
Keeps us separated
Media control is highly overrated
Ignorance is bliss to
Those uneducated
Listen to the message
'Cause it's time we faced it

Repeat chorus

I'm controller
Of my destination
Gotta change my mind
To help me break away
The sun creeps
Over the hillside to
Shed this light
No man could take away
And I guess
That's life
You see a new side
From the norm
A new direction and
Meaning to the form
And the calm in the
Eye of a storm, yo

Show me a desert that
Can never be drenched
I'll show you a thirst that
Can never be quenched
Temptation chronicles
The story of my life
Been spent on a dose
Of balancing strife
Inspiration it comes and goes
You can bet when it hits
I'm on the phone
Singing to my voicemail
Trying to get it down
In a sensation of
Shape shifting sound
You're telling fables to
Cover up your foibles
From overindulgence on things
You find enjoyable
Designed to take
My mind away from truth
Try to make me out
To play the sleuth
They want you to think
Someone's watching you
So they can make up
A set of rules for you
I'm just trying to find a path
That I can stomach
Just trying to make
Some sense out from it
Uh

Don't stop
Don't stop what you got
Don't stop
Till you find the sweet spot

Repeat chorus
