Can't Get Up?

As horizons decay, glowing screens shine We're coming up for air, the play lost time Music in my mind, past friends, shed tears Forgotten silence grows louder in my ears As clocks spin faster, youth lose more Suffocated, trapped, feeling worn Waking up, in a loop, pushed down, not free Like the deep sea is swallowing me Can you get up? Can you reach your dreams Are you living in places you've never been Do friends seem close, yet far apart Does Loneliness fill the heart We Can't get up, the pressure too strong been down too deep here way too long Late nights blur, the dawn won't wait Missing mealtimes, lose track of dates Our parents voice, love - through the haze Can we step away? Is it just a phase It pulls so hard, drawing us in, this force To live life through windows, nothing more Real things seem worthless - losing touch But even knowing, have we had enough Those stars outside, shine for us to dream To look up and think how life seems Vast and wide, but so confined Trapped in rooms, losing our minds Can you get up? Can you reach your dreams Are you living in places you've never been Do friends seem close, they feel so real Is Loneliness all that we feel We can't get up, our life's on pause But we're too scared to face the cause A new star is rising, a new day's begun Now we know what must be done Missed chances pass like fish in streams When life's a blur of unfilled dreams What if we get up, what if we tried Left prison walls and, lived outside Could you break free, find your place Reclaim your life, your rightful space Can you get up? To feel that air To see real fields, as windows stare Let's hold real hands, and laugh out loud Be something more than names in crowds We want to get up, the games we played Can we fix the mess we've made It goes so dark, when we close our eyes But we dreamed of playing, of blue skies Yeah! We can get up, it's not too late Real friendships just beyond our gate We'll stand, we'll run, Feel warmth in sun Cos' our real life story's just begun
