[Verse 1] Alarm after alarm, gotta force my eyes wide, Drag myself up with a dead-inside vibe. Cold shower hit, but the fog won’t slide, Clear water on my skin, still a storm inside. Heavy feet, weak heat, on the concrete street, Clock ticks, brain skips, barely keeping the beat. Punch in, blank stare, no spark, no flare, Every breath feels heavy like the weight of the air. Sigh after sigh, while the minutes crawl by, I’m alive on the outside, but I’m dead in the drive. Morning light bright, but it don’t feel right, Blue skies overhead, black clouds in my mind. [Hook] Is it serotonin running low? Why’s my inner weather always moving slow? Sun in the sky but I’m under snow, Wake me up, wake me up— I just wanna let this shadow go. [Verse 2] Made it through the morning by a thread of a thread, Force-fed lunch to a stomach full of lead. No appetite, just another damn chore, Eyes on the clock, wanna hit the floor. Need a little sleep, need a little escape, Need to shut the system down and reset the brain. Outside, blue skies painting gold on the trees, Inside, grey tides dragging hard on my knees. Sunshine, birdsong, leaves dancing light, Everything beautiful, but it feels out of sight. Chirping through the branches, breeze through the green, Sounds like a dream projected onto a screen. [Pre-Hook] Maybe it’s chemical, maybe it’s cyclical, Maybe this miserable mood is habitual. Comes back around with a rhythmical sting, Same dark season wearing different skin. [Hook] Is it serotonin running low? Why’s my inner weather always moving slow? Sun in the sky but I’m under snow, Wake me up, wake me up— I just wanna let this shadow go. [Bridge / Double-Time] Wake-wake-wake, but I’m still half asleep, Take-take-take every breath way too deep. Mind in a maze, heart under pressure, Searching for a little relief from the weather. Bright day, grey brain, strange state, same pain, Sun rays hit but they bounce off the frame. Birds sing sweet while I drift underneath, Living in a dream with my eyes barely open. Maybe when I wake, this weight will break, Maybe when I rise, I’ll recognize my face. Maybe all this haze is only passing through, Maybe tomorrow I’ll feel something new. [Final Hook] Is it serotonin running low? Why’s my inner weather always moving slow? Sun in the sky but I’m under snow. Wake me up, wake me up— Tell me where the daylight goes. Wake me up when the clouds roll through, Wake me up when the sky turns blue. Wake me up if this dream ain’t true— I just wanna wake up Feeling like me again.
