I watched the rise and the fall and the common man
I lived to see all hes steps walk back
I watched the walls all crashed down crumbling
Just to be rebuild while we slept

Wait to surf in the ocean's winding
We promise peace but the peace won't last
Cause now we're forced to play so nervously
Waiting for this hunger to eat at us

I'm still guarding them all
Like a sentinel
I see it all

I've been awake too long
Wished there was something that could close my eyes
To all that I say
Awake too long, it would be easier
To fall asleep

We fell in love but the love kept running out
We follow roads but the roads are lent
We live to learn, and learn to live with them
Falling from the madness we assemble

I've seen the eyes of the widows left behind
I've seen the child of the violent man
Never once did our leaders apologize
For battles they begin

I can't look away or pretend not to see
And still I say

I've been awake too long
Wished there was something that could close my eyes
To all that I say
Awake too long, it would be easier
To fall asleep

Asleep

Maybe I would dream, if I could sleep
Maybe I'll see, what this could be
Instead of what it is
Is that bless, an ignorance
Is this our demise we cant prevent
Should we fall asleep

I've been awake too long
I've been awake too long
I've been awake too long
I've been awake too long

And like constant visions will you
Burning in eternal flames
A surgery pain to a open heart
We throw it all every single
Could I've been awake
