Wide Awake

I know there’s nothing to fear 

Cradled in its arms 

Dragged out by its ears 

The beast of a burdened youth 

It left a scar, oh it left a bruise 

I don’t want to live like this 

I’ve lived a thousand years in my head 

Forget about your wasted words 

There’s no church for the disappointed 

I stay awake every night to feel alive 

I can’t sleep every second I wait 

Is a second that I’ll never get back 

And I’m afraid that I’ll just keep living 

On alone, let the fire burn 

In the end what lessons did you learn? 

You never let go, you left us in the dirt 

There’s nothing more that I can do 

If you’re second hand smoke 

I’m old news 

I don’t want to live like this 

I’ve lived a thousand years in my head 

Forget about your wasted words 

There’s no church for the disappointed 

I stay awake every night to feel alive 

I can’t sleep every second I wait 

Is a second that I’ll never get back 

And I’m afraid that I’ll just keep living 

On alone, let the fire burn 

Save your dreams for when you’re 

Wide awake
