Daniel Jaffke

Memorial for Daniel P. Jaffke, a son, brother, and friend.

Wake Up

On the line with one last look
I’m the bait that’s on the hook
Bite my tongue or foot in mouth
I left behind what I’m all about

Wake up, and stick to your guns
Wake up, what's done is done

Wake up, you’re not living if you’re dreaming
Wake up to find

One more try to find the truth again
Cause I’ve been lying to myself for too long
Just trying and losing

One more try to get the feeling back
Cause I’ve been fighting with myself for too long
Just trying to hold on and maybe try to move on

None of this makes any sense
Knock one more off the list
If you hid it from yourself
You lost it but you hid it well

Wake up, there’s more than one side to it
Wake up, there’s only one side of it

Wake up, contradicting what you’re saying
And it is always about

JULY 25, 2015 - Daniel makes an appearance

What you feel and what you doubt
What you take and what you give
Drop the thoughts and try to live

(wake up)

One more moment that I won’t regret
Cause what I’m feeling now is finally found
Just trying and losing
Just trying to hold on

Before what I feel is gone
