Are You Awake

Have you been listening

Are you awake

Have you been listening

Do you believe 

What you've been told

Do you still care

Is there a reason

You still feel it

in your soul

What are you waiting for

The enemy's at your door

Could it be any more clear to you?

What are you looking for

It's just impossible to ignore

But somehow you do manage to

Shelter and hide

From your destiny

Cover your eyes

It passes by

Just play the game

Of positivity

Til all the Fates

Have fallen aside

What are you waiting for

The enemy's at your door

Could it be any more clear to you?

What are you looking for

It's just impossible to ignore

But somehow you do manage to

Do you believe the propaganda

Taking selfies with your camera

Are you lost without your social 

All those friends and soulless trolls

Would you rather just not know

The role you have to play

Put it off another day

Is that how your story's told

What are you waiting for

The enemy's at your door

Could it be any more clear to you?

What are you looking for

It's just impossible to ignore

But somehow you do manage to
