The Messenger

from Contemplation EP by Athenas Wake

lyrics

This is real. This is real. How did it ever get this far to the point with me laying here in my own filth? In my own filth.

Drowning in my own negative thoughts and sorrows. Nothing but doubt and disbelief in my heart. I can’t help the way I feel, If only there was a way I could feel differently. It’s too hard when you’re in this state and all you see is every little negative thing 10 miles down the road.

Don’t act like that. Be positive and your spirits will lift higher than ever.
Don’t act like that. Be positive and your spirits will lift higher than ever.

Understand these words I’m telling you or else you’ll be stuck in hospital with an egotistic attitude. With and egotistic attitude.
Understand these words I’m telling you or else you’ll be stuck in hospital with an egotistic attitude. With and egotistic attitude.

What the fuck was that? Who in the hell is talking to me? Where did that voice come from? I must be going crazy or tripping on the drugs that they gave me. Is this possible?

Stop making excuses and admit what you hear. I am your conscience telling you to quit acting like a bitch. Look around the room and realize what you’ve got. People are here for you and you won’t even give them a shot. Give them a shot. Please give them a shot

Give them a shot. Wake up to your fucking actions. Take charge, it may flip the script. It could potentially change everything.
Wake up to your fucking actions. Take charge, it may flip the script. It could potentially change everything.

So sleep on this speech I just presented to you. Come back tomorrow with a smile, thank you. Sweating and squirming in my sleep, I hear that voice again. Get out of my head. I see a vision in my dream, how can this be? I’m in a wheelchair and I’m 50 with no one around me.

Don’t act like that. Be positive and your spirits will lift higher than ever.
Don’t act like that. Be positive and your spirits will lift higher than ever.

Understand these words I’m telling you or else you’ll be stuck in hospital with an egotistic attitude. With and egotistic attitude.
This is what will happen if you don’t listen to me. Pay attention to this message, consider it a gift. I am going for good now. This is your last chance kid.

His voice disappears as I die in my dream. Holy shit, you’ve made your point. Life is precious. I now regret everything I’ve said. Let me wake up to fix what I’ve done. This is real. This is real. This is real. This is real.
