Awake

Ian

So desperate
Hoping for acceptance from
People who were meant to love
But don't, they say it's not appreciated
To see what you've chosen
To becomeEyes, eyes, eyes
Just watching you
Waiting, seconds till you fall apart
Then it's over for you
No chances, no chances, none at allTheir minds seem open
Yet, not exposed
They'll let you in
But not too closeYou'll never know
The obstacles
The certain things that you have no control overDon't let them see
Don't let them know (6x)That you're awakeYou see everything through those eyes
You understand, but they don't
you're awakeSpit out the rust
Strip the disguise
Don't think twice, no need to agonize
A tooth or two if not, gold will grow, gold will grow
Remember that your mama told you soStep out from the shadow
Let everyone see
Black & blue, it don't matter
You're free
The fight's over, you've won
Raise your bloody fists high,
Breathe
You didn't dieYou're still here, you're still here
Open your eyes
You're awake
