Wake me

Wake me, fake me,
take me for a ride.
Wake me, fake me,
take me to the sky.
I don?t want to hear your words of wisdom.
I don?t want to hear your words of wisdom anymore.
I don?t want to hear your voice of reason.
I don?t want to hear your voice of treason anymore.
Wake me, fake me,
take me for a ride.
Wake me, fake me,
take me to the sky.

Why would anybody ever want to wait
when they're weighted down?
Why would anybody ever want to dream
when they're on the ground?
Just because everybody meditates
doesn't make us all profound.
Why would anybody ever want to wait
when they're weighted down?

I see them all around me,
a thousand dragons pulling my eyes.
I see them all around me,
a thousand more wearing my disguise.
I hear them all around me,
singing their song with their rants and raves.
I hear them all around me
singing their praise that Jesus saves.
I see them all around me,
soluting the bars on the prophet's cave.
I see them all around me,
a thousand dragons pulling my eyes.
I see them all around me,
a thousand more wearing my disguise.

Wake me, fake me,
take me for a ride.
Wake me, fake me,
take me to the sky.
