Sleepwalking (Prod. By Evill Dewer) Video (MV)

I can still see the buildings burning
Hear the screams, the machine turning
120 get your eyes blurry
I can still feel the ground shake, reversing a mistake
The whole planet getting baked
She held tight to her daughter's hand
They weren't safe on their own land
She heard God had his own plan, but they've only ever known Man's
Hot winds carry harsh sand
She lowered her head, covered her eyes
Tripped on the store owner as she ducked inside
He was laying there, dark red dirt by his side
What had he tried?
I could've sworn he was giving out signs
It was one or the other, his life or my brother's
I didn't think - I just let the M1 stutter
Now I see that mother when I see his mother
Can't sleep - in my dreams I try to free that mother
Trapped in the rubble where they took their cover
I think about her & I start to choke
When she cried she hit the right note
Reminded me of something Christ spoke
Bury it all beneath the white smoke

Awake
Each day I stumble through this haze
I'm blind
My eyes are glazed
My thoughts don't ever change
My soul is fried
I died
I wish I could escape
Under this weight, I walk
There is no other way

I could use somebody praying for me
Overshadowed by glory, I know the real story
Those outstretched hands appear mandatory
I took the road out to the old quarry
My home is claustrophobic
Drown in details that I never noticed
I came back with a dozen roses
A led weight around my family's neck
I try to keep in check, sell a smile before I disconnect
All I know is I can't stay here
Chasing scripts with a case of beer
Afraid she'll reappear
Awake at night, face stained with tears
Sometimes I wish I never left the shit
Outside of town is where they plant figs
Little kids play soldier & they point sticks
I reflect back on my choices
I didn't do nothing wrong
They were the ones who started planting the bombs
How was I supposed to respond?

Awake
Each day I stumble through this haze
I'm blind
My eyes are glazed
My thoughts don't ever change
My soul is fried
I died
I wish I could escape
Under this weight, I walk
There is no other way

Kevin didn't even make it home
September 15th he kicked the wrong stone
My ears ring,
I taste dirt when my thoughts roam back to that morning in the catacombs
Spirit reduced to barely flesh & bones
Say I'm lucky I escaped that hell
But they last saw Kev as himself
I made it back, but I exist as a shell
Imprisoned, I dwell & think about my buddy's laugh
Loud as hell, he'd make you fold in half
Forget the grains in the hourglass
He walked a righteous path
If he felt a certain way he never held it back
But those last few days I saw him start to crack
I'd find him staring off into nothing, mumbling bout something
I'd change the subject
He liked to talk about his baby girl
I said he thought too much about the old world
It's dangerous to let your thoughts swirl
Leads to actions that get your arms curled
And now I know that I'm right
Every day of my life I fight that same fight
Some truths are like the brightest light
I stared so long I finally lost sight

Awake
Each day I stumble through this haze
I'm blind
My eyes are glazed
My thoughts don't ever change
My soul is fried
I died
I wish I could escape
Under this weight, I walk
There is no other way
