Command

Waking up and fearing that I'll never get back into

my sleeping

Haunted by the darker, hidden sides of the family

The silence and repression and unspoken old secrets

come a-creeping

The oh so clean, golden dream is not what it used to be

Oh no no

Lying in a darkened room the first time I hear my

Scared to hell, the pressure, conform to common sense

Cut off from your past, you're disconnected from yourself

Reach beneath the surface, it's time that you

started believing

Lying in a darkened room the first time I hear my

voice speaking

You are next in line the golden child, try to remind

him "keep breathing"

Scared to hell, the pressure, conform to common sense

Cut off from your past, you're disconnected from

yourself

Reach beneath the surface, it's time that you

started revealing
