Lyrics

Face down with the la curbside ending
In the ones and zeros
Downtown was the perfect place to hide
The first star that I saw last night was a headlight
Of a man-made sky, but
Man-made never made our dreams collide

Here we are now with the falling sky and the rain
We're awakening
Here we are now with the desperate youth in pain
We're awakening
Maybe it's called ambition, but you've been talking in your sleep
About a dream, we're awakening

Last week saw me living for nothing but deadlines
With my dead beat sky but, this town doesn't look the same tonight
These dreams started singing to me out of nowhere
And in all my life I don't know that I've ever felt so alive, alive

Here we are now with the falling sky and the rain
We're awakening
Here we are now with the desperate youth in pain
We're awakening
Maybe it's called ambition, but you've been talking in your sleep
About a dream, we're awakening

I want to wake up kicking and screaming
I want to wake up kicking and screaming
I want to know that my heart's still beating
It's beating, I'm bleeding
I want to wake up kicking and screaming
I want to live like I know what I'm leaving
I want to know that my heart's still beating
Is beating, is beating, it's beating, I'm bleeding

Here we are now with the falling sky and the rain
We're awakening
Here we are now with the desperate youth in pain
We're awakening
Maybe it's called ambition, but you've been talk, talking in your sleep
About a dream, we're awakening dream, we're awakening
