Waking Up - Jamestown Story

Are you just waking up?

Can you see the sun down there?

Have you had enough?

All your walls are closing in

So take those pills you love but they won’t cover up the lies

or get you high enough to forget that you’ve chosen this life

I know I know I know that you’ve fallen

get up, get out of the hole that you’ve crawled in

Don’t waste your time don’t think you can’t save yourself

One little word can break the spell

No, to those artificial getaways

No, to the chemicals that flood your veins

Damned if you don’t, hope if you just say no

Damned if you don’t, hope you can just say no

So that grave you dug, is it deep enough to hide

from the ones you love?

Buried in your selfish pride

You’ve been searching for so long but you’ve missed every sign

pushing limits chasing demons now you’ve crossed the line

I know you know I know that you’re falling

climbing too high, too fast, and then stalling

You need to change get out of your own way

you’ve gotta find the will to say

No, to artificial getaways

No, to the chemicals that flood your veins

Damned if you don’t, hope if you just say no

No, to any fix sold quick and cheap

No, to that rush they sell you on the street

Damned if you don’t, hope if you just say no

Damned if you don’t, hope you can just say no

I know I know I know that you’ve fallen

get up, get out of the hole that you’ve crawled in

climbing too high, too fast, and then stalling

won’t stop the pills, the demons from calling

Say no, say no, say no, man you’ve got this

You know, you know, you know you can stop this

Damned if you don’t you’ve got to take control

Life is a train and you’re the conductor

choosing your fate, derail and destruct or pull on the brake there’s hope it’s

never too late
