Wake Your Mind Up Lyrics - From Chaos - 311

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 want to 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 

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 voice mail 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
