Wake your mind up, clear your eyes up

move and rise up before your times up

clock is ticking, your caught slippin'

stop to realize, 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

Wake your mind up, clear your eyes up

move and rise up before your times up

clock is ticking, your caught slippin'

stop to realize, look and listen

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

gimmie starlit skies for dreamland

I know 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 suld 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 cuz it's time we faced it

Wake your mind up, clear your eyes up

move and rise up before your times up

clock is ticking, your caught slippin'

stop to realize, look and listen

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 the 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, unh

don't stop, don't stop what you got

don't stop til you find the sweet spot

Wake your mind up, clear your eyes up

move and rise up before your times up

clock is ticking, your caught slippin'

stop to realize, look and listen
