Letra Waking up Jamestown Story

Waking up

Are you just waking up?
Can you see the sun down there?
Have you had enough?
All your walls are closing in
So take those pills you love
But they won’t cover up the lies
Or get you high enough
To forget that you’ve chosen this life

I know, I know, I know that you’ve fallen
Get up, get out of the hole that you’ve crawled in
Don’t waste your time, there’s hope you can save yourself
One little word can break the spell

(No) to those artificial getaways
(No) to those chemicals that flood your veins
Damned if you don’t, hope you can just say no (Just say no)
You’re damned if you don’t, hope you can just say no

So that grave you dug
Is it deep enough to hide?
From the ones you love
Buried in your selfish pride
You’ve been searching for so long but you’ve missed every sign
Pushing wind that’s chasing demons
Now you’ve crossed the line

I know, I know, I know that you’re falling
Climbing too high, too fast and then stalling
You need to change, get out of your own way
You gotta find the will to say

(No) to those artificial getaways
(No) to the chemicals that flood your veins
Damned if you don’t, hope you can just say no (Just say no)

(No) to any fix so quick and cheap
(No) to that rush they sell you on the street
Damned if you don’t, hope you can just say no (Just say no)
You’re damned if you don’t, hope you can just say no

Just say no
Just say no
Just say no
No, no, no

I know, I know, I know that you’ve fallen
Get up, get out of the hole that you’ve crawled in
Climbing too high, too fast and then stalling
Won’t stop the pills, the demons from calling

Say no, say no, say no, man you got this
You know, you know, you know you can’t stop this
Damned if you don’t, you’ve got to take control

Life is a train and you’re the conductor
Choosing your fate, derail and destruct or
Hold on the break, there’s hope, it’s never too late
