Time to Wake Up

Fighting for the right
To be free
I thought you were in my way
But really it was me
I've lived in my own world
But it's not reality
My perception, misconception
Self-deception and repression
I've forgotten who I am
I have no memory

I didn't know
My thoughts weren't mine
Falling apart
Things just weren't fine
Picking up the pieces
One by one
Putting it together
Is more painful than is fun

Secrets and denial
Eyes closed just to get by
I know that wasn't living
To myself now I must die
It's time for me to wake up
It's time to say goodbye
My perception, misconception
Self-deception and repression
Making what's unconscious conscious
For my Self I have to try
