Someone shake me
Wake me from this nightmare
Tell me it’ll be okay; I’ll be okay
Someone has forsaken me in this nightmare
They've ripped my roots from the earth...
And the rain won’t replenish what’s already been destroyed
Someone has sparked these flames into infernos
And the rain won’t extinguish what’s already been devastated
Because we’ve been doused in kerosene and left for dead
Don't worry though
There’s nothing left to save in this small frame of mine
So just let it whither
And as this nightmare grows, it will consume us both
Body and soul, all of us; whole
So please, Before it takes us could you steal the glimmer from my eye?
Make it something beautiful and everlasting?
Could you make me a martyr for those who feel only the downbeat in life?
