Awake!

Hey...
You're awake.
And you keeps you where you wanted to be known.
That's alright
You know that you've been framed.
All the way.
And it keeps you're wanting to be known.
But that's alright... you're only human, boy...
Take your inhibitions going home.
Hey! You're awake!
And that keeps you where you're wanting to be owned.
That's alright,
You're only evil...
'Eh' all the way!
And it keeps you where you wanting to be owned.
That's alright, you're only human boy,
So stay a while...
All the worlds a stage and we are home again!
All the worlds afraid but we are home again, home again!
Away from home? wait!
I died a little... waiting, waiting...
I want to be set free... on the road again for you and me.
Tell your partner that you'll be on the way, so get up get up...
We're far too old to whine about it!
Hey, you're awake.
And it keeps you where you've wanted to be known.
That's alright,
We knew we knew the way... all the way.
And it keeps us where we wanted to be on time...
Oh, then sooner or later it comes...
And we're free!
I'm free!
I'm free!
All the worlds a stage and we are home again!
All the worlds afraid but we are home again, home again!
Away from home? wait!
I died a little... waiting, waiting...
I want to be set free... on the bond again for you and for me...
Without a haunted song we'd be all alone...
So get up, get up, get up...
Now deconstruct!
All the worlds afraid... all the worlds afraid...
And we looked up to the stars last night
And I saw that maybe...there was nothing more?
...and my thought turned!
