Awake Too Long

歌詞

i watched, the rise and the fall of the common man i lived to see all our steps walked back i watched the walls all crash down crumbling just to be rebuilt while we slept we threw swords in the oceans wide and deep we promise peace nut the peace won't last because now we forge new blades so nervously waiting for this harmony to pass i stand guard and roam like a sentinel and i sec it all i've been awake too long wish there was something that could close my eves 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 followed roads but the roads all end we lived and learned and learned to live without falling from the ladders we ascend i've seen the eyes or the widows left behind i've seen the child of a fallen man and never once did our leaders apologize for battles they began can't look away or pretend not to see and so I stay i've been awake too long wish 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'd see what this could be instead of what it is is there bliss in ignorance is this our demise we can't prevent should we fall asleep? i've been awake too long and like constant vigils we are burning eternal flames a surgery blades in an open heart and through all it all every single cut i've been awake.
