It's too much to take
We're only human for Heaven's sake
It's hard to live with open eyes
So you try to turn away
You try to block it out
The facts on the screen are something I try to deny somehow
I've seen it before, yeah, I've seen it before
But I still choose to ignore

Don't wake me up
I'm not strong enough
I just want it to stop
Not ready to see that
This world gone to fuck
I know it's a dream but please, don't wake me up
Don't wake me up

Fantasy of black and white
Though I know that it's not quite right
Twist and turn my reality
I justify, defend my insanity

Don't wake me up
I'm not strong enough
I just want it to stop
Not ready to see that
This world gone to fuck
I know it's a dream but please, don't wake me up
Don't wake me up
Don't wake me up
I'm not strong enough
I just want it to stop
Not ready to see that
This world gone to fuck
I know it's a dream but please, don't wake me up
Don't wake me up

We choose this blindness
Self-made blindfold
We scream in darkness
Our hearts growing cold
Truth is a burden
Are you ready?
Ready for change

Don't wake me up
I'm not strong enough
I just want it to stop
Not ready to see that
This world gone to fuck
I know it's a dream but please, don't wake me up
Don't wake me up
Don't lift me up
I need to do this by myself, don't disrupt
Everything's built up to this, feeling pumped
Time to prove them who I am, what I've got
This is my shot
Don't wake me up
