State of Silence - Wake Up (From This Dream)

So let me tell you about some people in the world
Who live their lives with fallen doubt
Put yourself in these cold hard shoes
Now if you just hear me out, just a second of your time
That I'll make worthwhile
And I promise, won't set aside the truth

Let us start with a girl
Whose lover always seems to take control
And how he's always got something to prove
He believes that with a rising hand
He'll get what he wants, make her understand
And now she's tired of playing the fool

And she says
This is not the life for me, if I could change it back
She says
Close my eyes and count to three 'cause that's all I have
She says
As she looks up to the sky, she wonders how time can fly
And that she'll wake up from this dream

So we move along to a man
Who feels that he don't belong
And how he doesn't have a thing to lose
With a tiny pill that he takes today
To forget his troubles and wish the pain away
'Cause tomorrow won't be there when he's through

And he says
Just one more to fill that need, if I could change it back
He says
Just one cold memory 'cause that's all I have
He says
He looks through bloodshot eyes and he wonders if he'll make this night
And if he'll wake up from this dream

As we're coming to the end
Let's focus on a kid who likes to play pretend
Not knowing how to deal with the kids so cruel
So he takes his gun, with a thought out plan
He runs downtown just as fast as he can
He reloads it, empties it at a private school

And he said
If only I'd disagreed I could change it back
He said
What will be will be and that's all I have
He says
As he falls down to his knees he can't take it back
He says
They'll throw away the key and that's all he'll have
He says
He's left with no goodbyes and he thinks if it's in his mind
That he'll wake up from this dream
