Brutal Awakening Lyrics - Andreas Johnson

As the sun goes up over broken dreams of Eden 

And she wakes up slowly from the chains that tied her mind 

She walks down past the bound that said forever 

down the road back home to the ones she left behind 

I've been hanging on threads of emotion 

I've been lost in a riddle so deep 

I've been blinded by my own devotion 

I've been running down this dead end street 

All I wanted was a house on the mountain 

we could play like the king and queen 

Never wanted the world on my shoulders 

Never wanted this brutal awakening 

This brutal awakening 

On a bed of nails you see no face of freedom 

Still you hang on to dreams of something you'll never find 

When you're in that deep you sacrifice your vision 

yeah you loose your sight pretending you're not blind 

I've been hanging on threads of emotion 

I've been lost in a riddle so deep 

I've been blinded by my own devotion 

I've been running down this dead end street 

All I wanted was a house on the mountain 

we could play like the king and queen 

Never wanted the world on my shoulders 

Never wanted this brutal awakening 

This brutal awakening 

So you closed the door on the one there to receive you 

Then you slowly drifted away on your own 

Now you reach out for the same one to release you 

Yeah you've finally seen that this bird has not yet flown 

I've been hanging on threads of emotion 

I've been lost in a riddle so deep 

I've been blinded by my own devotion 

I've been running down this dead end street 

All I wanted was a house on the mountain 

we could play like the king and queen 

Never wanted the world on my shoulders 

Never wanted this brutal awakening 

All I wanted was a key to your kingdom 

we could play like the king and queen 

Never wanted the world on my shoulders 

Never wanted this brutal awakening 

This brutal awakening 

This brutal awakening
