[Verse 1]
AmLanding on sGolid ground the time approaching where we Fall fall down
AmWith each new waGve another wake up call deep in our minds
Where did iFt all go wrong?
AmSteadfast we hold our breath Gwishing it all away
Waiting for a sign to bring us Fback some day
AmWe hold our breath and wish iGt all away and wait for the Fday 
[Chorus]
To watch Cit all just Amwash right Gaway
When will iCt all just Ammake sense to Gme?
Is this the Cwake up call?
Something I can't ignore? Show me a Amsign of life Just give me Gsomething more 
I‘ll takCe a number like the others To Amtake a number and Gget back into line
AmFalling fast sure as the sGun may rise We're discovering all the Fthings we hide
So much Amfrom ourselves It's got me Gwondering What's going on insFide? 
Have we been Amhere before? There's Gsomething so familiar about This place
Can you tFell me what for?
        AmStill we keep hoGlding our breathF  
[Chorus]
To watch Cit all just Amwash right Gaway
When will iCt all just Ammake sense to Gme?
Is this the Cwake up call?
Something I can't ignore? Show me a Amsign of life Just give me Gsomething more 
I‘ll takCe a number like the others To Amtake a number and Gget back into line
[Bridge]
So Amcould you please Glend me your earsF  
I'vAme been far gone fGar far too longF  
As we maAmsquerade, wGhat is this game And this constant chFarade?
When did your Amheart cease to Gbeat anyway?F
