Riding high on your accomplishments
And always claim
"Self-made, I'm the one because I'm getting paid
Now I'm my own god, and this is my world
I'm at the top uh-huh I can't be stopped"
Well now don't you see that you're creating your own misery?
Come back down so you can see
It's not what it seems to be
It's just another empty dream
One that leaves you with nothing

When will you see
It's time to wake up and change
It's just an empty dream
Your life is too good to waste
And it never lasts
Don't be trapped by yourself
Face your past, face to face

Let's get deeper and go a little further into the past
You live this way to hide your pain
When no one else is there
Your smile and confidence, it fades

When will you see
It's time to wake up and change
It's just an empty dream
Your life is too good to waste
And it never lasts
Don't be trapped by yourself
Face your past, face to face

So wake up, life's too short!
