Awake
from Portraits by Timothy Armstrong
lyrics
Awake
All the faces I have worn, but wont again
Were picket fences all along
To keep them out, Or me in
We cannot help what we know or where we've been
So don't you dare apologize for what you might say In company
We don't want to luck out again
We don't want to play to lose
If that's the only way
You are gonna have to drag me kicking and screaming
I'm awake, are you?
We don't want “three strikes and you're out”
That's just an empty threat
You can tell by listening
I'm awake, are you?
We are not broken, not anymore
We've been set in motion, body and soul
Sinking feeling falling into sleep
I saw you stand upon the sand
Sinking feeling falling into sleep
I felt you making eye contact
Are you awake?
All the faces I have worn, but wont again
Were picket fences all along
To keep them out, Or me in
We cannot help what we know or where we've been
So don't you dare apologize for what you might say In company
We don't want to luck out again
We don't want to play to lose
If that's the only way
You are gonna have to drag me kicking and screaming
I'm awake, are you?
We don't want “three strikes and you're out”
That's just an empty threat
You can tell by listening
I'm awake, are you?
We are not broken, not anymore
We've been set in motion, body and soul
Sinking feeling falling into sleep
I saw you stand upon the sand
Sinking feeling falling into sleep
I felt you making eye contact
Are you awake?
