311 - Wake Your Mind Up lyrics

Wake your mind up, clear your eyes up Move and rise up before your times up Clock is ticking, your caught slippin' Stop to realize, look and listen Well I guess that's life When you see a dark road up the way And I guess that's life When you gotta roll through anyway Now don't scream, don't fight Fear never ever made it go away Same ghost town as yesterday Made you feel like love was miles away Wake your mind up, clear your eyes up Move and rise up before your times up Clock is ticking, your caught slippin' Stop to realize, look and listen Now those sleepless nights Thoughts just cloud up my brain Feeling helpless, repeating the same Old memories of pain and I wish it would rain, yo Gimmie starlit skies for dreamland I know it's really smaller than it seems but when The pressure gets under my skin I just want to get out and scream in the wind, yo The world we're livin in is complicated The streets that we walk on are dark and jaded A wandering soul that's filled with hatred In it is poison, the youth is tainted Social engineering keeps us separated Media control is highly overrated Ignorance is bliss to those uneducated Listen to the message 'cause it's time we faced it Wake your mind up, clear your eyes up Move and rise up before your times up Clock is ticking, your caught slippin' Stop to realize, look and listen I'm controller of my destination Gotta change my mind to help me break away The sun creeps over the hillside to shed this light No man could take away And I guess that's life You see a new side from the norm A new direction and meaning to the form And the calm in the eye of a storm, yo Show me a desert that can never be drenched I'll show you a thirst that can never be quenched Temptation chronicles, the story of my life Been spent on a dose of balancing strife Inspiration it comes and goes You can bet when it hits, I'm on the phone Singing to my voice mail trying to get it down In a sensation of shape shifting sound You're telling fables to cover up your foibles From overindulgence on things you find enjoyable Designed to take my mind away from the truth Try to make me out to play the sleuth They want you to think someone's watching you So they can make up a set of rules for you I'm just trying to find a path that I can stomach Just trying to make some sense out from it, unh Don't stop, don't stop what you got Don't stop til you find the sweet spot Wake your mind up, clear your eyes up Move and rise up before your times up Clock is ticking, your caught slippin' Stop to realize, look and listen
