Wake Up

String Cheese Incident · Untying The Knot [2003]

There's flies buzzing 'round me, I'm begging for a breeze



The grass that surrounds me is so high that I can't see



There's something out there watching me and I can't find no peace



If it catches up with me, its gonna kill me by degrees



Stand up, Wake up



The sun is sinking fast now and the night is moving in



I've got to find a place where I know I won't be seen



If you're out there can't you help me, 'cause I try but I can't scream



And I know that its not real, but I can't break out of this dream



Stand up, Wake up



This song is for the people living this dream



Their minds twisted in an endless scream



We're walking through a graveyard, the wind howling through the trees



We've got to wake up soon or life will pass by like a breeze



What's it gonna take to make you realize

You're killing yourself I've seen it in your eyes



Stand up, Wake up
