Waking is Rising

[Verse 1: Rory Rodriguez]
This is the bitter end
I can feel it
No longer can I pretend
I’m going to make it out alive
One final resting place
A hollow fate I can embrace
Is there relief in a dying world that sets me free?

[Pre-Chorus]
I lie still inside that room
But in time I’ll be consumed
By the fire that rains down from the sky

[Chorus]
As the ground divides, the earth will bleed
Who knew you’d be standing right there beside me?
At my funeral they will read:
Dreaming is sinking, waking is rising

[Verse 2]
The last night that I saw you
I promised I would stay the same
But the awful truth is we never really change
No, we don’t ever change
This cataclysm will put me in my grave
No, we don’t ever change
But all I want is to see your face
(But all I want is to see your face)

[Pre-Chorus]
I lie still inside that room
But in time I’ll be consumed
By the fire that rains down from the sky

[Chorus]
As the ground divides, the earth will bleed
Who knew you’d be standing right there beside me?
At my funeral they will read:
Dreaming is sinking, waking is rising

[Breakdown]
You’d think that after all this time I’d learn to give it up
But still I run and hide
But I cannot escape this place, this dream I’m dying in
I’ve run out of time
No one’s watching over me
Dreaming is sinking, waking is rising
The louder that I scream, no one hears me
The more that I’m awake, I’m still dreaming
I’ve fallen as the vultures start to circle
I’m descending so quickly, but I’m reaching towards the surface
You gave up on me, I gave up on you
I’m descending so quickly, but I’m reaching towards the surface
This is the bitter end
I can feel it, I can feel it
My eyes roll back
The world decays
I find relief
I’m no longer suffering

[Outro]
Will I awake to the light of day?
Or will the sun collapse and annihilate?
(Dreaming is sinking, waking is rising)
Will the sun collapse and annihilate?
(Dreaming is sinking, waking is rising)
Will the sun collapse and annihilate?
