Don't Wake Me | The ColourMind | Album: PSYCH! (Official Audio)

Don't Wake Me by The ColourMind Written and produced by Joshua M. Alexander. "Don't Wake Me", song #8 on the album PSYCH!, is one of the most emotional and haunting songs from the album PSYCH!. After awakening from a twenty-one day coma, a man discovers that he has lived an entire lifetime somewhere else. He remembers another name, another wife, another family, another world beneath another sun. To everyone around him, only twenty-one days have passed. To him, forty years are gone. Caught between two realities, he struggles with an impossible question: Which life was the dream? And which life was real? Part psychological mystery, part philosophical meditation, and part emotional journey through memory and identity, "Don't Wake Me" explores the fragile line between consciousness, dreams, and existence itself. Lyrics: I had another name... I can still remember her face... Why don't you? Forty years beneath another sun Another life had just begun A little house on a winding road Children laughing as we grew old I knew my name I knew my place I knew the lines upon her face I never questioned what was true Until the day I woke from you Don't wake me Don't wake me Take me back where I belong Don't wake me Don't wake me Everything I loved is gone Don't wake me Don't wake me I can still hear her voice Don't wake me Don't wake me I don't think I have a choice Twenty-one days... That's impossible... Bright white lights above my bed Strangers standing where you've been They call me by another name Tell me nothing here has changed They say I slept for twenty-one days How can they explain away A lifetime spent beneath another sky A lifetime that has now died Don't wake me Don't wake me Take me back where I belong Don't wake me Don't wake me Everything I loved is gone Don't wake me Don't wake me She is waiting there for me Don't wake me Don't wake me Take me back into that dream My children are still there... Waiting... Waiting... Two worlds One soul Two stories One whole Two lives One mind One truth Undefined Who was I? Who am I? Which life lived? Which one died? Don't wake me Don't wake me Take me back where I belong Don't wake me Don't wake me Everything I loved is gone Don't wake me Don't wake me I can still hear her voice Don't wake me Don't wake me Take me back into that dream Don't wake me Don't wake me I was somebody there Don't wake me Don't wake me She was waiting there Take me home... Take me home... Take me home... I fell asleep... Trying to wake up... And woke up... Trying to fall asleep... Psych...
