lyrics

I'm told not to
but my head is hard
every year, every shot that's lodged
to deep to dig it out
unless enough are
breathing down my throat
i spit it all out
along with my hope

my eyes set fire
every time i blink
i'd like to leave right now
but I'm too wide awake
yea, I'm too wide awake

dare, i double dare ya
to stop me now
you question my motivations
i'll take ya out
so tell me, what am i doing?
with a bottle in my hand
fit of rage, in trance-like state
its time to end

my eyes set fire
every time i blink
i'd like to leave right now
but I'm too wide awake
yea, I'm too wide awake

i found, i see
that the man in the mirror looks a lot like me
with an evil grin and fist of grief
suddenly a coming to fruition
i found that i must be
the weakest of them all cuz now i see that
i'm the only one still here

my eyes set fire
every time i blink
i'd like to leave right now
but I'm too wide awake

my eyes are closed
yet its still hard to sleep
when the voices scream so loud
and I'm too wide awake
yea I'm too wide awake
