Lyrics
Wake Up

Realize we aren’t perfect

Back Up

And acknowledge our conflict

You’re too scared of change

You like being where you’re comfortable

You just want to keep using a cold flame

You never wanna add heat

You just want to keep everything the same

We will never be complete

Hold Up

I can’t do this all alone

Stand Up

Get off your almighty throne

You’re too scared of change

You like being where you’re comfortable

You just want to keep using a cold flame

You never wanna add heat

You just want to keep everything the same

We will never be complete
