about

Wake Up is a song about vulnerability, honesty, burnout and depression. It’s about the struggle and conflict between what you feel in your heart and how your mind can work against you. “It’s my head that’s pulling me down, not my heart”. I feel I've captured the angst and frustration of this
experience in the arrangement, production and performance of Wake Up. From the honest lyrics and delicate piano motif, to the pounding, heartbeat bass drum, soaring string section and passionate vocals. Wake Up is raw and heartfelt. Strong and fragile.

lyrics

I'm afraid of being alone
I'm afraid of my own home
And I don't wanna sleep, I'm scared I might wake up

It's my head that's pulling me down...not my heart

I'm so tired of feeling so small
When the clouds are dark and the mountain's too tall
And I don't wanna sleep, I'm scared I might wake up

It's my head that's pulling me down
It's my head that's pulling me down
It's my head that's pulling me down...not my heart

Stitch my heart up to my brain
And make me feel and think the same
'Cause I'm gonna scream and I'm gonna shout

It's my head that's pulling me down
It's my head that's pulling me down
It's my head that's pulling me down...not my heart
Not my heart...

I'm afraid of being alone
I'm afraid of my own home
