Dead Inside (Wake Me Up)

I'm so wrapped up in my self-involvement
The merits of life are evading me
I'm so caught up in self-gratification
That everyone else has become dead to me

Wake me up, knock me out
Bring me back to the living
Take my hand, take my heart
Wake me up

I've lost sight of everything real
All I have left is this body
Lost inside in a world of torment
I can't find my way out

Wake me up, knock me out
Bring me back to the living
Take my hand, take my heart
Wake me up

If no one cares then I don't care
If no one cries then why should I cry?
For the life, for the loss
For the sake of pleasure I die

Wake me up, knock me out
Bring me back to the living
Take my hand, take my heart
Wake me up

I had to rename this one...I came up with "Life Lost" and well...
I hated it...

Don't worry about the title. It fits. I was like this not long ago. People made no difference to me. Good stuff, AD.

Hey, I like it. The only connection to Evanescence I see is that you say "Wake me up" and "bring me to life". Somehow, I don't think they coined those terms. Good job. Keep it up. I'll be reading.

Doesn't it though? It really pissed me off when I started writing it too...I don't know...I still like it though...I just wish some of the words had been different.
