Once a week I'm talking to the dead
I'm starting to think that I've been mislead
Haunted by voices that tear me apart
And I don't know where to start
Work like a slave and the whipping post is
Friends see strangers more than me
The tales I keep to myself for their benefit
Torture me and haunt my dreams
Need you to see all these things
Hidden in my eyes, glistening
The things that I can not bear to tell
The secrets of my own personal hell
(Chorus)
So wake me up now
I feel so alone
The years have flown by
Turning me to stone
Take me now from
These streets that I roam
And wake me up now
Please send me home
Lost love and children's pride
are stripped from us and the pain we hide.
And the wrecked remains of our tortured souls
Are all that's left inside...
We worked for scratch but gave it our all.
The time put in was not worth the fall.
So close your eyes and sleep
Dream easy knowing that you are safe
All your friends
And all your hopes
And all the things
That you hold dear
Rest free because of rough men who took your place
So wake me up now
I feel so alone
The years have flown by
Turning me to stone
Take me now from
These streets that I roam
And wake me up now
Please send me home
