C#m F#m G#m E
Sometimes it feels like the world is falling asleep
C#m F#m G#m E
How do you wake someone up from inside a dream?
C#m F#m G#m E
Your mind would wander and search for its place in the night
C#m F#m G#m E
Your body followed this feeling like following light
C#m F#m G#m E
Once that your music was born it followed you 'round
C#m F#m G#m E
And then it gave your activities, meaning and let you be loud
F#m G#m
You're sad but you smile
A E
It not in your eyes
F#m G#m
Your eyeballs won't change
A E
It's the muscles around your eyes
G#m E
An egg to fertilize
G#m E
A pulse to stabilize
G#m E
A body to deodorize
G#m E
A life to scrutinize
G#m E
A child to criticize

Young adults to modernize

Generations to desensiti

to see such power in our hands all wasted on greed
C#m
Am I a prisoner to instincts?
F#m
Or do my thoughts just live
G#m
As free and detached
E
As boats to the dock?
C#m F#m G#m E
Just like when music was born and detached from your heart
C#m F#m G#m E
Is your free time to free minds or for falling apart?
F#m G#m
Night after night
A E
You turn out the light
F#m G#m A
You don't fall asleep right away
E
"Are we... are we done?"
G#m E
A desk to organize
G#m E
A product to advertise
G#m E
A market to monopolize
G#m E
Movie stars you idolize
G#m E
Leaders to scandalize
G#m E
Enemies to neutralize
G#m E
No time to apologize
G#m E
Fury to tranquilize
G#m E
Weapons to synchronize
G#m E
Cities to vapor-i
