lyrics

9. Keep Me Awake
Verse:
You left me on a day, I guess that I was in the way
And then it started to progress
Which made my life seem meaningless
Rest is for the weak, I got a 24/7 streak
You told me to move on, at 5 years old that sounded wrong
I felt deserted tossed aside, you chose to leave, run and hide
I needed to talk to you, but there was nothing that I could do
I had no one, no one to turn to
Chorus:
Can this all be a mistake? Cause I don’t need it
Can you help keep me awake? Cause I can beat it
I’ve done all that I can take, I hate to close my eyes
When I’m scared of sleeping
Verse:
No anger was content and no idea what it meant
The time was moving on and now my sadness was resent
Cold and all alone as my father became unknown
When I think about it now all that I can do is laugh
Because without the aftermath I would have never chose this path
I’ve got a son who’s there for me, unlike you I would never leave
I’ve got someone, someone to turn to
Chorus:
Can this all be a mistake? Cause I don’t need it
Can you help keep me awake? Cause I can beat it
I’ve done all that I can take, I hate to close my eyes
When I’m scared of sleeping (X2)
Bridge:
Black cloud over my head
Each night is something I dread
Can’t find my peace relief
Scared to close my eyes
How long can I keep awake
Each nightmare takes my breath away
Just remember to breath it out, breath it out!
Chorus:
Can this all be a mistake? Cause I don’t need it
Can you help keep me awake? Cause I can beat it
I’ve done all that I can take, I hate to close my eyes
When I’m scared of sleeping (X2)
Too scared, scared to close my eyes (X3)
I need your help
Too scared, scared to close my eyes
Too scared, scared to close my eyes
Just remember to breath it out
Breath it out!
