Rude awakening

Follow me into the dark
But don't leave me there
Im scared
A rude awakening for this hardened hearts repair

Get rid of this shallow repentance
This false sense of security
Get rid of these lies of comfort
My death is my complacency

Empty rituals and mindless prayer
Will bring me & you despair
Unhelpful thoughts and heartless songs
Won't hold me up for long

Get rid of this shallow repentance
This false sense of security
Get rid of these lies of comfort
My death is my complacency

And I know the fall of me is my humanity
Its no wonder I keep slumbering in my selfishness
I'm tired of this half-hearted take at humility
Your arms outstrecthed again to my ungratefulness


Slap some sense into me
Cos I hate this reflection I see
Awake me from my sleep, awake me from my sleep

Get rid of this shallow repentance
This false sense of security
Get rid of these lies of comfort
My death is my complacency

And I know the fall of me is my humanity
Its no wonder I keep slumbering in my selfishness
I'm tired of this half-hearted take at humility
Your arms outstrecthed again to my ungratefulness
