Stay Awake

Stay awake

Don’t let them see you shaking

Stay away

from all the lives you’re breaking

Don’t ever sway, don’t go astray

Don’t ever leave me hanging

A silver thread, if cut - you’re dead

You’re at my mercy, begging

Hiding from these judging eyes

Fighting off embracing lies

Hiding in my own demise

I’m nothing special, I won’t arise

Again and again, It begins, it begins:

the end of it all, the rise before the fall

Again and again, No point in pretending

No pride to defend cause it all comes to an end

Shake it off,

You’re tricking no one, you know

Take it off

You look like a fool, a no one

Don’t ever dare to feel bad

You have no rights, it’s quite sad

Chin up, back straight, up on that chair

tighten that noose, see if you dare

Hiding from these judging eyes

Fighting off embracing lies

Hiding in my own demise

I’m nothing special, I won’t arise

Again and again,

It begins, it begins:

the end of it all

the rise before the fall

Again and again

No point in pretending

No pride to defend

cause it all eventually comes to an end

Demons crawling under your skin

Fiending for some peace within

All I see is demons

Demons crawling under your skin

Fiending for some peace within (these demons)

Demons crawling around your neck

They try their best to suffocate (it’s suffocating me)

Hiding from these judging eyes (it’s suffocating me)

Fighting off embracing lies (it’s suffocating me)

Hiding in my own demise (it’s suffocating me)

I’m nothing special, I won’t arise (it’s suffocating...)

Hiding from these judging eyes (me)

Fighting off embracing lies

Hiding in my own demise

I’m nothing special, I won’t arise

Again and again, It begins, it begins:

the end of it all, the rise before the fall

Again and again

No point in pretending

No pride to defend

cause it all comes to an end
