Lyrics
Stay Awake
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I thought of all the things that led to the times that I've been sad
I thought of all the strange behaviors I could never understand
Like shaking in your bed
Keeping secrets from my family
The bitter remains of the sick, twisted game we played
Stay awake
Stay awake
I stay trapped in my old habits
Displaying inner fear of change
I sprinkle apathy in cracks that come to meet me as I age
I hate the nights I say too much
Pity makes me feel so weak
I think the chemicals in my head are out to get me
Stay awake
Stay awake
But I've grown into something more than a victim in my eyes
And I didn't bear this cross just to lay down and die
I will not be made a slave
I'm not alone when I lay awake
And they need me, oh they need me to be brave
I will not be made a slave
I'm not alone when I lay awake
And they need me, oh they need me to be brave
So I'll be brave
I will not be made a slave
(So I'll be brave)
I'm not alone when I lay awake
And they need me, oh they need me to be brave
(You are not alone, you are not alone)
You are not alone when you lay awake
