On the Rise

Half awake, or I’m half dead
It’s hard to tell, well, you don’t say
So I barricade myself inside
And pass the time till judgement day
But I’m on the rise
Yeah I’m on the rise
And I pray that you remember me
Your silver tongue, your heart of stone
Wait until infinity
I’d turn the cheek, I’d be reborn
For a chance to simply talk to you
Afraid I’d sound hysterical
But I’m on the rise
Yeah I’m on the rise
Falcon hear the falconer
We’re out of luck, we’ve gone to bed
Tidal waves are waiting
Patient as the morning
I just need some motivation
Staring at a candle
Shiver in the darkness
I just need some motivation
Angels dancing all in black
Hear the voices crying out
Say it in a whisper
Praying for a signal
I just need some motivation
Keep the wolves at bay tonight
Those hungry beasts, those harmful friends
As I try to keep my spirits up
Through thick or thin and sink or swim
But I’m on the rise
Yeah I’m on the rise
Offer me a second’s rest
I can’t I’d just as soon drop dead
Tidal waves are waiting
Patient as the morning
I just need some motivation
Staring at a candle
Shiver in the darkness
I just need some motivation
Angels dancing all in black
Hear the voices crying out
Say it in a whisper
Praying for a signal
I just need some motivation
