"The Alphabet Of Me" lyrics - HAKEN

[Intro:]
It's time to wake up and die or regenerate
You're never gonna retire your power games, power games, no
Slip from the scene of the crime like a rattlesnake
From all this deafening silence I walk away, walk away, walk away, oh

In the red and the grey, I'm a sage on a ship for fools
There's a tear in the rain, momentary pain I will feel till the end of the road
To be born falling into line, or fall like dominoes? We fall like dominoes (Woah-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
In the blink of a spark, when the links to our past ignite
Burning half as long as the fire in my soul that is blazing twice as bright
Paper dreams wouldn't change anything
I would hurt the ones I love to protect the ones I loathe (Woah-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)

[Chorus:]
It's time to wake up and die or regenerate
(If you're part of me, quit me now)
We're never gonna reform if we replicate, replicate, replicate, no
(I'm reaching my breaking point)

[Post-Chorus:]
Object of my affection, am I still drunk on the memory of us?
How instant our connection; perfected, then lost

[Bridge:]
A room without a view, a version of the truth is all I am to you
I'd flee if I wanted to; retire from being used
Even if I could bleed, all you would see is the alphabet of me
What more can one do, when years define you?

[Chorus:]
It's time to wake up and die or regenerate
(If you're part of me, quit me now)
We're never gonna reform if we replicate, replicate, replicate, no
(I'm reaching my breaking point)
I feel it's time to move on, but we're all in a state of retrograde
(Ride the anarchy, live your truth)

[Post-Chorus:]
Object of my affection, am I still drunk on the memory of us?
How instant our connection; perfected, then lost

[Instrumental Outro]
(Woah-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
(Woah-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
(Woah-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
(Woah-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
(Woah-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
(Woah-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
(Woah-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
(Woah-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
