Awake

I need security too
To gain some traction here
A chain reaction telling me
If this is all it will ever be
Mistakes I made in theory
I need to clear the air
Embrace the fear, afraid to know
If this is all it will ever be

I watched the rain erase us all
Through the eyes of a waterfall
I bought the rights to own the air
So I can steal you, the breath from me
I will break your fall
And I will make you stay awake
I’ll stay, awake, this is all that I’ll ever be
Awake, I’ll stay, awake, this is all that I’ll ever be

What insecurity chose
But too polite to share
It always makes sense when not aware
That this is all that you’ll ever be
It took the crack of a smile
To turn my head and stare
It made me forget what came to be
I’m not to you what you are to me

I watched the rain erase us all
Through the eyes of a waterfall
I bought the rights to own the air
So I can steal you, the breath from me
I will break your fall
And I will make you stay
Awake, I’ll stay, awake, this is all that I’ll ever be
Awake, I’ll stay, awake, this is all that I’ll ever be

And later down the line
You’ll figure out
It’s easier to hide
Lay it on the line
And figure out
It’s easier to lie

Awake, I’ll stay, awake, this is all that I’ll ever be
Awake, I’ll stay, awake, this is all that I’ll ever be
This is all that I’ll ever be, this is all
