The path of failure

Is this true
Or just the memories
That force their way
Back through every vein
Reminding that your heart is beating
Wake up now
Worthless hope, blinding light
Colourful nightmares
Wake up now
And the curtain falls down
Traitor
Reminding that your heart is beating
Wake up now
Before you walk the path of failure
As so many did before
Worthless hope, blinding light
Colourful nightmares
Wake me up
