Stay Awake

Eyes are burning bright By fires that you have helped ignite And you came just so you could start a fight Don't give a fuck about your revolution, right? Do you think it's justified to spread a lie By shoving my face into the pavement? And just 'cause you think you're right, don't make you right You bury yourself with every statement And I know, and I know that you feel the urge To control everything that you can't discern 'Cause it's different from you and from what you've learned And that's scary for someone who's blind 'Cause their back has been turned Stay awake We've had enough of the future they sell If we wanted to be restrained We would tie the knot ourselves Offended by the sight Of strangers who just want to survive You spit on their culture out of spite Then scream that they violate your rights And I know, and I know that you feel the urge To control everything that you can't discern 'Cause it's different from you and from what you've learned And that's scary for someone who's blind 'Cause their back has been turned And I know that you feel the urge To control everything that you can't discern 'Cause it's different from you and from what you've learned And that's scary for someone who's blind 'Cause their back has been turned Stay awake We've had enough of the future they sell If we wanted to be restrained We would tie the knot ourselves We've had enough of the future they sell If we wanted to be restrained We would tie the knot ourselves If all hope is lost Then why are you fighting for Your place in this great hopeless cause The irony is not lost on me Stay awake We've had enough of the future they sell If we wanted to be restrained We would tie the knot ourselves
