When You Wake Up
Written by Josh Bien

lyrics

When you wake up
You'll find your makeup
Has run all down your face
Building up walls
Connect the halls
And finally finish your space

Now that I'm long gone I know who I really am
it makes me wonder who I was when this all began

When you roll over
The space where we were
Is vacant and cold to the touch
But i've been enlightened
And left you frightened
And no, I don't worry that much

What you took from me can not be replaced
And your memory will not easily be erased

I find myself
In need of some help
To get back from being M.I.A.
Not getting any younger
But feeling much stronger
With no wish to run away

I'm back in action, you'd know if you were my friend
But you're not so you know this must be the end.

I've been blinded
The past reminded
Me of my lack of control
A roller coaster
Back of a poster
Dying like a minor role

Don't you dare put me way up on top of your shelf
Don't call me baby don't you see you're extending yourself?

When you wake up
You'll find your makeup
Has run all down your face
Building up walls
Connect the halls
And finally finish your space
