The Wake Lyrics - Singles - Abney Park

spoken: My father says that almost the whole world is asleep. Everybody you know, everybody you see, everybody you talk to. He says that only a few people are awake, and they live in a state of constant, total amasement. 

Debbie dates daily with a boy for every finger 

She leaves with one now and leaves another left to linger 

Coldly Debbie tells me it's a world of give & take 

But I say Debbie, bring it closer to the wake 

In today's society, too little anxiety falls in the right place 

People hurting each another, no care for another 

Can you stand your own face? Listen to me now? 

People gotta stop hurting themselves, STOP, 

now, now, now, now bring it closer to the wake 

Listen to me now, STOP, now, now, now, now bring it closer to the wake 

Billy blows bubbles that are filled with marijuana 

To rebel from all the troubles he was chained to by his mama 

Sadly Billy tells me that his happiness is fake 

But I say Billy, bring it closer to the wake 

In today's society, too little anxiety falls in the right place 

People hurting each another, no care for another 

Can you stand your own face? Listen to me now? 

People gotta stop hurting themselves, STOP, 

now, now, now, now bring it closer to the wake 

Listen to me now, STOP, now, now, now, now bring it closer to the wake 

Jason jets his jag up to speeds that's past eleven 

Jason buys a house that makes him feel like he's in heaven 

Bills been paying Jason, Bills friends are Jason's take 

But I just talked to Bill, Jason's further from the wake 

In today's society, too little anxiety falls in the right place 

People hurting each another, no care for another 

Can you stand your own face? Listen to me now? 

People gotta stop hurting themselves, STOP, 

now, now, now, now bring it closer to the wake 

In today's society, too little anxiety falls in the right place 

People hurting each another, no care for another 

Can you stand your own face? Listen to me now? 

People gotta stop hurting themselves, STOP, 

now, now, now, now bring it closer to the wake 

Listen to me now, STOP, now, now, now, now bring it closer to the wake 

Now you & I have been through much, we've both had Debbie's problem 

And we've both used Bills eyes to find our troubles & try to solve them 

But let's not use each other, for Jason's world was fake 

Only we can work together to bring us closer to the wake 

spoken: ...I'm not gonna tell you who you are. I don't know who you are. I know who wants to know. It's taken me all my life to find out who I am and I'm tired of your....
