Orbit Trio - Verenda

They tell me to wake up... but where is that light? This is just the pit. No one's staying bright.

It's not the city air, it's the smoke of a rusted cage, Our broken promises, all a white-collar rage. My eyes are open, but my mind's a foggy fantasy, Not a hidden feeling, but kinship with the tragedy. Every second here is a chain, a loop that never ends, Not life, just a cold, dirty snoop where the pain extends. We killed the spark, now we are nothing but charcoal dust, And every mirror I look in is starting to rust.

Pressure rising? No, it's crushing me into this concrete, The question is clear: A swamp or the final defeat? Erased the fear? I married the panic, my friend, This ain't a shift, it's the rhythm of the cliff, near the end.

WAKE UP! WAKE UP! WAKE UP!  From this dream, or stay in the prison you made? The future ain't bright, the future is a rotten decay, If it shines, it's the star beneath this tombstone's gray. Why should we wake up? 

The outside world ain't calling, it's just hollow noise, This ain't a glass bubble, it's a dirty quarantine hoist. We're drifting, lost in the hypnosis of the white screen, Is that the moment? The line is drawn, left alone and unseen. Even if I run, there's no light left on the track, Just the weight of the dark on my back.

Even if our hands could find the warmth and the sun, Will the magic break? No, this darkness can never be undone. This moment is real, yes. Real, and the pain is the truth you accept. Wish it would end, this soulless wakefulness is all I've kept.

Beneath the tombstone... Star. Wake up, wake up... Stay forever... Don't go...
