Brutal Awakening

As the sun goes up over broken dreams of Eden

And she wakes up slowly from the chains that tied her mind

She walks down past the bound that said forever

down the road back home to the ones she left behind

I've been hanging on threads of emotion

I've been lost in a riddle so deep

I've been blinded by my own devotion

I've been running down this dead end street

All I wanted was a house on the mountain

we could play like the king and queen

Never wanted the world on my shoulders

Never wanted this brutal awakening

This brutal awakening

On a bed of nails you see no face of freedom

Still you hang on to dreams of something you'll never find

When you're in that deep you sacrifice your vision

yeah you loose your sight pretending you're not blind

I've been hanging on threads of emotion

I've been lost in a riddle so deep

I've been blinded by my own devotion

I've been running down this dead end street

All I wanted was a house on the mountain

we could play like the king and queen

Never wanted the world on my shoulders

Never wanted this brutal awakening

This brutal awakening

So you closed the door on the one there to receive you

Then you slowly drifted away on your own

Now you reach out for the same one to release you

Yeah you've finally seen that this bird has not yet flown

I've been hanging on threads of emotion

I've been lost in a riddle so deep

I've been blinded by my own devotion

I've been running down this dead end street

All I wanted was a house on the mountain

we could play like the king and queen

Never wanted the world on my shoulders

Never wanted this brutal awakening

All I wanted was a key to your kingdom

we could play like the king and queen

Never wanted the world on my shoulders

Never wanted this brutal awakening

This brutal awakening

This brutal awakening
