Wake Up

Trying to Align

By Conner KronbergPublished 6 years ago 5 min read

this anxiety is taking over my being

can't wait until I can open it up and realign

people are always more interested in your life after death

can't wait until you take that last breath

never did I dream I could escape this reality

I don't remember how to dream, these days it's just one of those fucked up things

shoot for a goal

strive for a new world

come to realization that it will never be found

fuck that

go back to dream world

living in a fantasy only bleak to you

wake up fool

you're living

living a lie

but that's alright you can't hide forever

dreaming of things

acquiring things

these things no longer have the same meaning

so we'll start from the beginning

rewind time and begin again

open up to the sky one last time take a deep breath and smile

maybe we've got awhile

taken away stripped from the depths of your soul almost like it never happened

so just cry until you laugh, then laugh til you cry

don't be a fool

wake up

not knowing how to be

where to be

when to be

who to be

devoting these times to mysterious works

dark times come from the mind

realizing to late in time

up and down the ladder

never knowing up from down

just want to be in the familiar view

with you

you find one true love in life and I found it when I found you

doesn't matter now everything is a hazy hue

living life from a fucked up view

we'll make it through though

me and you

we'll see all the things our eyes ever longed to see

we'll go everywhere our heart desires

doesn't matter what we got as long as I got you

but this isn't a confession of a dying love

but a confession of our love dying

I can tell

when I look in your eyes I feel like hell

the rush of emotions crashing like waves in my mind

do I love you?

do I hate you?

do I admire you?

do I loathe you?

do I love myself?

I can't tell

wake me up when we're done in hell

if you have to fucking yell

scream at the top of your lungs

just get me out of this place

wait, no don't

this is my comfort

don't go

why don't you stay awhile

let the sunshine through awhile

share independent thoughts

let's elevate to a new location

puke out these thoughts of mass devastation

take the world to a new destination

no matter what it takes

we've gotta wake these fuckers up

create them again

destroy us

how can you ever really know who you are

when everything built was on a foundation of lies

trapped inside of a familiar beating

with every every punch brings the warmth of bleeding

i've got a hunch that we're all wrong

watch at the end we've got it all wrong

fuck your money

fuck your fame

fuck your life that was built from destruction

deception

you users of people

the only thing we've got is time

how are you spending it

wasting time writing rhymes

or actually getting off your ass to save these people

looking around at all the starving people

we've got enough food to feed these people

wasting so much time on trying to make a dime

make fucking love

beautiful, never yielding love

let's set this shit straight before it's too late

wait

it's already too late

I'm slowly scaring myself into isolation

can't breathe around all these beings

it's driving my mind insane

I can feel each and every energy and it's overwhelming

but trust me I'm trying to outrun these demons they're just so fast

you can't outrun the past it'll catch up to you so so fucking fast

but trust me I'm trying

can't decide whether to run or hide now

but I know either way I'm going down

the fantasies I've created in my mind aren't real but it's better than real

take just a second and try to feel

just lay next to me and try to feel it

the energy I create

is it real

I can feel

feel you

feel what you radiate and it makes me smile but I have to step back and let you go now

it's sad I know but don't worry

I hope you find someone that would stop time just to see that smile for awhile

so I'll just fade and go away

but know I'll be smiling from a distance

because I know you're doing just fine

love your life

while I starve mine

we make jokes in an attempt just to cope

people are out dying in the streets smoking dope

quit meddling with the world like you hold it in the palm of your hand

you bastards are just mortal man

I'm tired of seeing these man made devastations

if there is a hell it's your welcome to eternal damnation

fuck your politics

fuck your wars

fuck your money

and according to you

fuck the poor

enough food in one place to feed the entire human race

but fuck it let's fly up to space

I know most of us just can't wait to get out of this place

take me away to a better place

one with no hate

one with no greed

and one with no pride

just a mass love spreading at the fastest of speeds

remember

the only way to get back good is to watch what you seed

be careful out there it's a dark dark world

dark times entering into damaged minds

it's funny that the entire time we can bitch from the sideline

then complain that we simply just don't have the time

lay down your pride

make up your mind

remember

these are dark fucking times

there's no time to waste

trust me we'll all get out of this place

remember

no one makes it out alive

but in time, you'll meet someone that's never made you feel so alive

they might come in disguised

but when you look in their eyes

you'll know that you no longer have to lie

you've never felt so real

you've never felt so vulnerable

you know you'll do whatever it takes

even if it's your life

just to make the disguised

feel like they're the biggest prize you've ever got

baby, hush

when we're together they'll be no lies

take it off

take off the insecurities

take off the past

leave it all behind

float through my soul

like a butterfly floats through the air

like the ghost of your past demons

flying through the night

so open up the eyes of your heart one last time

do it for me and I promise we'll be just fine

all that matters now is what we've got now
