The Clay People - Awake
Album: S/T
Tuning: Drop-D (D A D G B E)

Notes:
-The second guitarist plays a riff withh some weird pedal effect throught the whole song.
 As far as I can tell, it's something like this.

Techno Riff:

E[--------------------]
B[--------------------]
G[--------------------]
D[--------------------]
A[--------------------]
D[-0---2--2--2---1--1-]

I don't know what the pedal they use is, so I can't tell you if that's on the right string, or 
if those are the right frets, but that's the right pattern.

Fill One: 

E[-----]
B[-----]
G[-----]
D[-1-1-]
A[-1-1-]
D[-1-1-]

Fill Two:    (This is insterted at some points during the verses, and it's played during the 
              drum solo)

Lyrics: 

Can't breathe, hyperventilating
Look out, fall and hit the ground
Pain leading, will someone get me out
Can't breathe, hyperventilating

(WAKE UP!  WAKE UP!)
(WAKE UP!  WAKE UP!)

Feeling down, head blown out and no more sound
The lights go out, feeling down your eyes blown out
Feeling down, head blown out and no more sound
The lights go out, feeling down your eyes blown out

Oooooooh
Oooooooh
Oooooooh
Oooooooh

(WAKE UP!  WAKE UP!) TIME TO DIE!
(WAKE UP!  WAKE UP!) TIME TO DIE!
(WAKE UP!  WAKE UP!) TIME TO DIE!
(WAKE UP!  WAKE UP!) TIME TO DIE!

Manipulation, and it's killing me
Communication, and it's killing me
Reproducing, and it's killing me
Clones for its misusing, and it's killing me

Oooooooh
Oooooooh
Oooooooh
OooooAAAHHHHH!

(WAKE UP!  WAKE UP!) TIME TO DIE!
(WAKE UP!  WAKE UP!) TIME TO DIE!
(WAKE UP!  WAKE UP!) TIME TO DIE!
(WAKE UP!  WAKE UP!) TIME TO DIE!

We all have, lost control, lost control, lost control
We all have, lost control, lost control, lost control
We all have, lost control, lost control, lost control
We all have, lost control, lost control, AAAAAAAHHHHH!

(WAKE UP!  WAKE UP!)
(WAKE UP!  WAKE UP!)
(WAKE UP!  WAKE UP!)
(WAKE UP!  WAKE UP!)
(WAKE UP!  WAKE UP!) No control, reckoning
(WAKE UP!  WAKE UP!) So depressed, emptiness
(WAKE UP!  WAKE UP!) No control, reckoning
(WAKE UP!  WAKE UP!) So depressed, emptiness
