Color Morale, The - Falling Awake Lyrics






In spite of my cheerful demeanor
I'm afraid to set foot in the world
We watch the same dead clocks
These small hands need to meet the larger again

And I chose a road, the one I didn't know
Now it has brought me here
The stories I've have gathered in travels,
I wouldn't trade for the years back

There's a war inside,
I need something to get me through this
Without you, am I ever myself?
The only thing holding us back is us
(?)
And ghosts from the last time
Are all the same

We can live again [x3]

All we can do is try and try and try and try to change
For ourselves

The night has been my covering
And the day is my disguise
But I can't seem to stay far enough away
From self created lies

For those of you who question your purpose
Look inside the eyes staring back at you
Past your devil
They long for purpose too
And maybe that's yours, I know cause it's mine

You are the second-hand air that I breathe
And these songs were made for you to sing before me
And they are more than just sound
And you are more than just an audience
This is the family that I've found

The night has been my covering
And the day is my disguise
But I can't seem to stay far enough away,
From self created lies

I chose a road, and now I know
Nothing will ever come easy

I chose this road
Staying asleep is worse than falling awake
I chose this road
Standing asleep is worse than falling awake

Color Morale, The Falling Awake Comments
  1. P.... A....

    Words cannot explain how amazing this is and how this band helped me through a lot and how much this means to me :)

    P.... A....

    They're incredible, aren't they?

  2. F.... A....

    This song and the title of it changed my life, and many others around me...in ways that are indescribable. All I can say is thank you.

  3. R.... A....

    PAAAST YOUR DEEEVIL!!!

  4. Z.... ....

    Remains one of my favorite songs. I'm happy with their newer stuff, but I will always prefer their pre-2014 music. In other words, TCM before they left Rise

    Z.... ....

    I completely agree with this! Hands down my favorite song of all time! And yes I miss the old TCM I don't really like desolate divine, but hold on pain ends is good. Know Hope is really good! And My Devil In Your Eyes and We All Have Demons are by far the best ones imo!

  5. G.... M....

    This is the Color Morale that I LOVE. Their style has changed so much these past few years. Know Hope grew on me after a while, but still not as good. Hold On Pain Ends was just pure trash. I'm sorry Garrett. I wish you had stuck with this heavy/melodic style.

    G.... M....

    i know what u mean. i seen em live 3 times now and each time garret has been pretty terrible on vocals. its a shame because this music is just amazing and they are ruining it with hold on pain ends turning into garbage.

    G.... M....

    +Male Feminist he's bad live? Dang I'm thinking about seeing them in Springfield

    G.... M....

    @Clay Whitfield the instrument players are pretty good, its just garrett ain't too good. aint hating on the guy but half the time he don't sing the lyrics and when he does it is out of tune.

    G.... M....

    Hold On Pain Ends grew on me, but I've always liked Know Hope, My Devil In Your Eyes, and We All Have Demons.

  6. S.... T....

    I might be crazy but a part in the beginning sounded like Hold On Pain Ends...

    S.... T....

    You mean hold on pain ends,sounds like this 

    S.... T....

    Same thing xD you know what I meant

  7. c.... ....

    How can anyone dislike this ?

    c.... ....

    cmreal9 this might be too soft for them lol. I honestly fucking hate heavy ass shit like cannibal corps and that's not cause I'm a bitch it's because that's just simply not music(no disrespect)

  8. T.... ....

    This may be a dumb question, as I only acknowledged this band yesterday -- and, as the lyrics seem pretty evident -- but is this christian music?

    T.... ....

    @Nathan Yocum They were never a "Christian band", however they are a band of Christians, or at least most of them are. Like Memphis May Fire is. They may not have clearly Christian lyrics like For Today or Oh, Sleeper. Instead they focus on morality and uplifting messages which are likely inspired by their faiths.

    T.... ....

    @SFxTAGG3 they we're indeed a Christian band as they referred to themselves on stage as so and as this album charted on the Christian charts. The rest of what you said is true. But in my opinion those two things would've made them a Christian band at this point.

    T.... ....

    @SFxTAGG3 not that it really matters. 

    T.... ....

    Thanks for the info.  It was just odd to see that Strange Comfort -- which seems to describe an unsavory past -- was preceded by music describing that same past in such a different light.  If that even makes sense.  But thanks for the info.  Did I already say that?

    T.... ....

    Garret used to be pretty outspoken about his faith. Watch the rise artist profile on him. It explains a little bit more than I can, but he is currently struggling with what he believes in. So you could say they were a christian band on these first two albums, but not necessarily any longer.  

  9. S.... ....

    Wow, this album is freaking awesome! I know what I'm spending my next paycheck on!

  10. J.... G....

    right!! everyone thinks that is devil music but they don't take the time of day to read some lyrics. So much meaning, heart, love, and passion is put into this genre of music.

    J.... G....

    Straight fuckin facts

  11. D.... H....

    How bout we call it metalcore, cus that's what it is lol

  12. S.... ....

    Screamo is not a term for "screaming" lol. You want to listen to some "screamo" go check out Glassjaw

  13. M.... ....

    The fuck do you want him to call it then screaming?

  14. A.... O....

    foeever my favorite tcm song.

  15. A.... ....

    2:54 is one of the most amazing parts of music ever

  16. A.... M....

    I met him back in January in Little Rock, Arkansas. I was the only person who bought a VIP ticket, and he talked to me about hanging on though all my depression. He literally held my hand the whole time as I was in tears. That man saved my life.

  17. Q.... ....

    I miss this old screaming, they were so much better. Thier new stuff is alright, but not as good as this.

  18. E.... M....

    My life in a nut shell...

  19. n.... ....

    this song needs more recognition.

  20. J.... ....

    I like this album sooo much better than their newer shit. I wish they'd make another like this.

  21. D.... ....

    dont take what....it says seriously.. Its name is "Magicpony100".. nuff said. lol.

  22. S.... ....

    3:04 And on is just... Amazing.

  23. Z.... a....

    Thats interesting to me that people would rag on this shit, considering its actually pretty fucking metal. Some people just cant handle it man

  24. O.... A....

    you are a legend amazing band cheers!

  25. W.... ....

    check out I Divide...the singer/sound is very similar

  26. B.... ....

    oh no dude hes not trust me. hes just talking about those arrogant assholes that choose to say things that they souly believe is true. which we all, including myself, hate. no harm to you friend.

  27. F.... ....

    Yeah well clean usually means auto-tuned and sounds even more terrible like we came as romans' old stuff.

  28. O.... A....

    the start is sensational but the unclean vocals ruin it for me its apart of the wrong song if it was cleans all the way through they would be big.

  29. n.... ....

    discovering new music is the best

  30. M.... B....

    I love these lyrics (:

  31. J.... V....

    Theres a lot of wrong lyrics in the info

  32. j.... L....

    i listen to wiz khalifa and cheif keif and shit like that but i love music like this!
    dont judge everbody

  33. s.... ....

    What's a "screamo"?

  34. 9.... ....

    I'll make that my top priority.

  35. 9.... ....

    Well most people don't liked to be called something they are not so I'm just using common sense. That's like calling Nickelback Metal.

  36. 9.... ....

    Okay? Just know that even the band wouldn't like it if you called it screamo but sure.. Look stupid in front of everyone.

  37. B.... ....

    'Odd' is not always a bad thing.

  38. G.... ....

    If it's odd why are you listening to it? LOL.

  39. J.... G....

    i wish it was popular at my school

  40. M.... M....

    I'm not sure why everyone freaked out at my comment.
    I like Make me Famous.
    I like The Color Morale.
    It's just music, everyone has different preferences.
    Shut the fuck up and enjoy it x.x

  41. c.... s....

    Sumerian already claimed those Asking Alexandria fanboys.

  42. R.... ....

    The Color Morale > Make Me Famous

  43. m.... ....

    no actually they are recording a brand new cd as we speak!

  44. h.... l....

    fucking thank you!!!!! you deserve a fucking medal

  45. B.... ....

    This type of music is considered 'popular' in my school now. It's so odd.

  46. A.... Z....

    did they break up

  47. R.... ....

    2 words to describe this song FUCKING BEAUTIFUL!

  48. T.... O....

    I literally can't stand people in my school that make fun of music like this. Saying that it is emo, suicidal, and gay. It's not the fact that they are painfully ignorant, it is that they don't even bother to see the lyrics and meaningful message in it. The worst part is that they go and listen to Wiz Khalifa, Lil Wayne, and Nicki Minaj and THEN criticize something for what it is not.

  49. e.... j....

    because of it's beautiful meaning and lyrics

  50. p.... ....

    one of the greatest songs i´ve heard.

  51. S.... ....

    damn i love the beginning part of the song ....hell, i love the whole song <3

  52. R.... ....

    TCM is the greatest! i love these guys so much!

  53. S.... O....

    You're retarded.

  54. B.... R....

    i hate how all the comments are everything but how beautiful this song is. why?

  55. G.... ....

    this is beautiful <3

  56. M.... ....

    Its not screamo you dumbass

  57. R.... W....

    too generic, its asking alexandria 2 with less talent. except asking alexandria is complete trash now a days.

  58. 9.... ....

    Bitch, don't call it screamo.

  59. n.... ....

    there's obviously 4 people who enjoy their mariah carey a little too much..

  60. T.... ....

    This isn't screamo, dude.

  61. D.... D....

    why dont these guys have more veiws

  62. D.... N....

    Impactful music happens when it ends without you even knowing so. That happened to me when i was listening to "Product of a Murderer" (OM&M) and just now again listening to this. :)

  63. D.... ....

    Post hard core ... I like A day to remember , escape the fate , Woe Is Me , In fear and faith , Crown the empire, Motionless In White , And The Devil wears Prada .... I also like some other genre's of music but mostly Post hardcore

  64. M.... M....

    What kind are you into?

  65. D.... ....

    Ok first Opinion second it does have relevance on this video cuz it's posted by riserecords and his comment was making a direct request to riserecords ._.

  66. D.... ....

    lol apparently not personally i don't like Make me famous or The color Morale im just searching for music i might like

  67. M.... M....

    I just liked that band O.O I dunno why they flipped. xD I guess opinions aren't allowed on youtube.

  68. D.... ....

    -_- I came here looking for music but it looks like this is going to be one of those bands where i can only find 1 or 2 great songs and no more Unlike the case with Crown The Empire because i Loved every last one of their songs! >.> and any pricks who want to down vote my comment for sharing my opinion go ahead

  69. D.... ....

    I don't know why this comment received a shit load of negative votes all you did was mention a band

  70. C.... M....

    I was at a color morale gig, and the vocalist wasn't impressed by the lack of movement, so he punched my friend square in the face, it was pretty awesome. These guys are sick live

  71. T.... ....

    thanks for that

  72. x.... ....

    I FUCKING AGREE XD

  73. a.... b....
