Awake For Too Long

I watched the rise and the fall of the common man

I lived to see all hes steps walk back

I watched the walls all crashed down crumbling

Just to be rebuild while we slept

We threw suds in the oceans winding

We promise peace but the peace won't last

Cause now we forged new brakes so nervously

Waiting for this harmony to pass

I stand guard and roam

Like a sentinel

I see it all

I've been awake too long

Wished there was something that could close my eyes

To all that I see

Awake too long, it would be easier

To fall asleep

We fell in love but the love kept running out

We follow roads but the roads all end

We live to learn, and learn to live without

Falling from the madness we assemble

I've seen the eyes of the widows left behind

I've seen the child of the violent man

Never once did our leaders apologize

For battles they begin

I can't look away or pretend not to see

And still I say

I've been awake too long

Wished there was something that could close my eyes

To all that I see

Awake too long, it would be easier

To fall asleep

Asleep

Maybe I would dream, if I could sleep

Maybe I'll see, what this could be

Instead of what it is

Is that bless, an ignorance

Is this our demise we cant prevent

Should we fall asleep

I've been awake too long

I've been awake too long

I've been awake too long

I've been awake too long

And like constant vigils we all

Carry eternal flames

I’m surgery pain to an open heart

But through it all

Every single cut I’ve been awake
