Wake Up To Reality

Lyrics

Verse 1
Wake
Wake up to the cracks in the glass
You were praying for a future
While they’re cashing in your past
Every promise like a poster
Peeling off a dirty wall
They teach “win at all costs”
Then blame you when you fall

You want peace?
They’ll sell it by the ounce, by the mile
Smile for the cameras
While they stack bodies in a file
Every flag on a casket
Just a cover for a lie
They toast to “moving forward”
Never look you in the eye

Chorus
Wake up to reality
It hits hard, no apology
Every light got a price to pay
Every hope got a hollow face
Wake up to reality
All this gold over gravity
You can sleep through the fantasy
But truth cuts deep in the cavity

Verse 2
Every throne needs someone
Buried underneath the stairs
Every “chosen one” story
Got a graveyard of heirs
They chant victory, victory
Echo in a rusted hall
Count the names on the marble
Tell me who won at all

You call it fate, they call it margins
Same blood, different bargains
They preach love in a headline
While they bargain with your organs
This world keeps score
In scars, not in sympathy
You keep begging it to change
It keeps betting on your injury

Chorus
Wake up to reality
It hits hard, no apology
Every light got a price to pay
Every hope got a hollow face
Wake up to reality
All this gold over gravity
You can sleep through the fantasy
But truth cuts deep in the cavity

Bridge
So what now?
Lie down, let it brand you? (nah)
Or stand up, let it damn you?
If pain is all that’s guaranteed
I’ll bleed on what I still believe

Chorus
Wake up to reality
It hits hard, no apology
Every light got a price to pay
Every hope got a hollow face
Wake up to reality
All this gold over gravity
If this world’s built on tragedy
I’ll write my name in the agony
