wake up again it's time to die
bombs are falling from the sky
rubble strewn around the street
piles of arms and legs and feet
the horrid smell of burning flesh
and rotting bodies, stinking death
children stumble without eyes
their skinless faces, helpless cries
they scream for mother without hope
as through her guts they blindly grope
blood and guts and bones and brains
intestines, kidneys, in the rain
rain of fire down from the sky
wake up again it's time to die

wake up again, it's time for shame
for all this happens in your name
cruel men and cruel machines
do all this only by your leave
the blood is splattered on your wall
the stinking bodies fill your hall
the putrefying guts are strewn
around your bed and fill your room
with maggots crawling from their eyes
the disembodied voices cry
tortured spirits, demons too
restless hands that grope for you
wake up again it's time to weep,
or just a nightmare? back to sleep

Wake Up Again
The Mellfire Trifecta

Verse
I’m sitting up in bed
And you’re laughing playfully
I know you’re the girl
Who was specially made for me
The twinkle of your eyes
Makes the morning fade away

You’re the one who buys
What I’m sure we’ll never use
A better way to dice
Or to store our apple juice
Then I end up wondering
What we ever did before

Chorus
I’m always humming
Or making peculiar sounds
To see if you’ll react
You look at me
And you tell me that I am insane
But you keep on coming back

Verse
Kisses are the best way
To keep me close to you
When we’re apart
Must be the future ghost of you
Reminding me to get in the moment
And stay right there

Tucking up in bed
As the nighttime circles us
Moving close to you
To feel that contented rush
Knowing I’m the one
that you chose with all of your heart

Chorus
I’m always humming
Or making peculiar sounds
To see if you’ll react
You look at me
And you tell me that I am insane
But you keep on coming back

Bridge/Outro
Hold me in your arms
Whenever things get tough
I know we’ll feel the sun
And we’ll be okay
When we wake up again.

Wake Up Again
by heine

Stop sleeping, the sun is shining
You look so pale today
I couldn't sleep because you were whining
But now there is no sound, no word you say

Sleep is so close to death
Wake up again, get up now
Sleep is so close to death
Wake up again, get up now

Stop sleeping, here's some coffee
Please open your eyes again, now
I couldn't stand a life without you no more
'cause living without you, well, I don't know how

Sleep is so close to death
Wake up again, get up now
Sleep is so close to death
Wake up again, get up now

Stop sleeping, you feel so cold
You had a fever yesterday
Breathe again and talk to me
But now there is no sound, no word you say

Sleep is so close to death
Wake up again, get up now
Sleep is so close to death
Wake up again, get up now

Wake Up Again
Pigfarmer Jr

I hear the beeping from the waiting room
I can hear it all night long
'Till the beeping stops and I hear the alarm
And I know that something's wrong
Footsteps clatter down the hall
Rushing to get to you
I feel helpless with nothing to do
But wait and see

I'll wish upon a shooting star
I'll wish upon the wind
I will give my life for you
If you'll wake up again

I swear to god I looked both ways
Before I made a left hand turn
Screeching tires and broken glass
I feel like my chest has been burned
I turn and look and see your face
Blood smeared everywhere
Blood running all through your hair
As I reach for you

I'll wish upon a shooting star
I'll wish upon the wind
I will give my life for you
If you'll wake up again

I wish upon a shooting star
I'll wish upon the wind
I will give my life for you
If you'll wake up again

Wake Up Again
Robyn Mackenzie

Stopping and seeing
The art of believing, it's a spell

Existing in motion
The flow of the ocean to the well

Sometimes you gotta sleep
Before you can wake up again
Before you can wake up again

I try to be level
But I dance with the devil in the dark

And speak to my lover
In the tongue of my mother's broken heart

Sometimes you gotta dream
Before you can wake up again
Before you can wake up again and again and again and again and again

(Sleep)
Like a thousand fireflies
(Dream)
Make up the stars behind your eyes

Sometimes you gotta breathe
Before you can wake up again and again and again and again and again
Before you can wake up again and again and again and again and again
Yeah I know I gotta wake up again and again and again and again and again
Oh yeah I gotta wake up again

Wake up again in the fruit bin
Another couple bad apples are beginning to soften below
(there were no soft spots when I checked last night
I turned them all over and I took a bite)

break up the flakes of the bluefin tuna
spoon a dollop of mayo and give it to the boys in the show
(Lord knows they could use the food
they've been up since 5:00 when the drama went live)

and the birds still need to be served
there's no chicken feed but there's a bag of seed
at the dollar store

one time I told my cousin a little lie
that my grandma on my daddy's side was fixing to die
I said she's leaving me her kitchenette
I could use it to get out of debt
and he believed me

wake up again like a penguin
just standing in the snow with an egg keeping warm on your toes
(you don't need keys to lock your knees
put some long johns on so your legs don't freeze)


shake up the bran in a bread pan
so the crust don't stick to the sides when it's ready to go
tip it up so the loaf don't sweat
give a slice to the family pet

cousin doesn't even scan the bizniss plan
cuts a check it's cashed and gone by time he hits the midspan

I've got long cons sitting the back of the fridge
a family scam just over the Ridge
And an MLM just raring to go

I've got a Ponzi scheme came to me in a dream
pyramid deals just spin the wheel
a 50/50 raffle where the winner don't show

I've got a coupe burning oil that you wouldn't detect
going to sell it to a sucker from the break-off sect

I can hang two deer out front if I just tell em that my daughter hunts

a Nigerian prince with some tied up funds
A blackmail racket with the local nuns
a key to the coinfed binocs at the Waterfront

Lyrics by CynicalMonkey

Like a cog you only spin when you’re told to
Locked in place, daydreaming of the old you
Time flashing past in the blink of an eye
A raging river that keeps passing you by
Live to work, work to live, all seems the same
Just another pawn in someone else’s game
Clock watching days, like a pig in a pen
Rinse and repeat, hit the hay, wake up again.

Wake up, wake up / Sleepwalking time is over
Wake up wake up / Wipe it from your eyes
Rise up rise up
From this manufactured Zen
The dream you had is dying so it’s time to wake up again

The weekend's gone and you barely even felt it
Ante up the pot, got no choice cause you're dealt in
Alarm goes off before the sun can even break through
Dressing in the dark, wear the colours that they gave you
A single serving breakfast for a single serving day
Not a single second wasted on a single ounce of play
Keep to the lines they painted, follow on and then
Rinse and repeat, hit the hay, wake up again.

You never saw it like this
In all your big dreams
Always thought you’d stand out not fall apart at the seams
But the going got tough
Stepped out of the scene
Sleepwalking through life, another ghost in the machine

Wake up, wake up / Sleepwalking time is over
Wake up wake up / Wipe it from your eyes
Rise up rise up
From this manufactured Zen
The dream you had is dying so it’s time to wake up again

Wake Up Again
the pannacotta army

Every night I keep waiting for morpheus to come
Lying awake trying to unlisten to the endless hum
I close my eyes but it doesn’t fool my brain
I need sleep but I might not wake up again, wake up again

The morning light creeps ever nearer but I’m still slumberless
Not one pill that I've ever swallowed brought me any rest
Nor any bed where I have lain
I need sleep but I might not wake up again, wake up again

Wake Up Again, by RoneAI

[Verse]
Another morning
So so boring
Your life is a mess
But so are the rest

[Chorus]
Are you listening?
Can you hear me?
It's time to Wake up!
Wake up! Wake up up again!

[Verse]
A dream dissipates
You come back to fate
It doesn't have to be
Open your eyes and see

[Chorus]
Are you listening?
Can you hear me?
It's time to Wake up!
Wake up! Wake up up again!

[Verse]
The brain dead ones
They never have fun
Too busy at work
It makes them all jerks

[Chorus]
Are you listening?
Can you hear me?
It's time to Wake up!
Wake up! Wake up up again!

Wake Up Again
Hoblit

Behind my eyes I begin to rise
into the skies
Where I suspend

But then I wake up again

Well I can't remember every little snippit, no
Only what I can recall

And I don't understand one single bit of it
Not an iota at all

So I must deem that it's just a dream
an unconsious stream
Deep in R E M

Behind my eyes I begin to rise
into the skies
Where I suspend

But then I wake up again

No cup of coffee can really shake it off of me
No matter how hard I try

Somewhat somnolent and sleepy opportunity
where all I want is to fly

So I must dream that unconcious stream
and rise like steam
Deep in REM

Behind my eyes I begin to rise
into the skies
Where I suspend

But then I wake up again

So I must dream that unconcious stream
and rise like steam
Deep in REM

Behind my eyes I begin to rise
into the skies
Where I suspend

Wake Up Again
Reve + Ujn

I am but an eye inside a lens
Of glass that no one ever sees
I don't create anything

I am but a spark inside the wires
That synthesize electric dreams
The puppets sleep on their strings
And they don't even blink
While they're force fed illusions
Of daylight

I am just a hand upon a clock that stood
But now just melts away
Into an amalgam of days

I once was a king propped up on
Synapses firing
And I thought agency was mine
The wool covered my eyes
But now I

See
These cells had never been me
I am just enzymes and a bad joke
Pathetic as the songs I used to sing

So, wretch the nail across this
Vapid cathode ray
As we wake up again tomorrow

To a god...
That never came to be
