Memento Mori

Lyrics

By the darkest river, beneath the leafless trees
 I think I'm drowning, this dream is killing me
 (Wake up, wake up, wake up)
 In the coldest winter, between the fading lights
 I feel I'm falling into a frozen sky
 (Wake up, wake up, wake up)
 Past the blackest heaven above the dying stars
 I watch me breaking into a million shards
 (Wake up, wake up, wake up)
 But through the hardest hour, below the cruelest sign
 I know I'm waking up from this wretched lie
 (Wake up, wake up)
 WAKE UP
 ♪
 A depression fed by overload
 False perceptions, the weight of the world
 A universe in the palm of your hand
 The artifice of endless strands
 Distraction flows down an obsessive stream
 ♪
 Rejection grows into oppressive screams
 The hardest hour, the cruelest sign
 I'm waking up from this wretched lie
 I fight it the same, don't waste this day
 Wake up, wake up, wake up
 Memento mori
 ♪
 The regression of advancing modes
 And imperial corrosive nodes
 A prime directive to disconnect
 Reclaim yourself and resurrect
 Distraction flows down an obsessive stream
 
 Rejection grows into oppressive screams
 The hardest hour, the cruelest sign
 I'm waking up from this wretched lie
 I fight it the same, don't waste this day
 Wake up, wake up, wake up
 Memento mori
 ♪
 There's too many choices
 And I hear their relentless voices
 But you've gotta run them out
 Return to now and shut it down
 ♪
 Shut it down
 ♪
 A depression fed by overload
 False perceptions, the weight of the world
 Because there's too many choices
 Gotta kill their relentless voices
 ♪
 (Wake up, wake up)
 I know I'm waking up from this wretched lie
 
 The hardest hour, the cruelest sign
 I'm waking up from this wretched lie
 I fight it the same, don't waste this day
 Wake up, wake up, wake up
 Wake up, wake up, wake up
 Memento mori
 Memento mori
