Falling Awake

In spite of my cheerful demeanorI'm afraid to set foot in the worldWe watch the same dead clocksThese small hands need to meet the larger againI chose a road, one that I didn't know...Now it has brought me hereThe stories that I have gathered in travels,I wouldn't trade for the years, backThere's a war inside,I need something to get me through thisWithout you, am I ever myselfThe only thing holding us back is usYou should back away from usAnd ghosts from the last timeAre all the sameWe can live againWe can live againWe can live againAll we can do is try and try and try and try to changeFor ourselvesThe night has been my coveringAnd the day is my disguiseBut I can't seem to stay far enough away,From self created liesFor those of you who question your purposeLook inside the eyes staring back at youPast your devilThey long for purpose tooAnd maybe that's yours, I know cause it's mineYou are the second hand air that I breatheAnd these songs were made for you to sing before meAnd they are more than just soundAnd you are more than just an audienceThis is the family I've foundThe night has been my coveringAnd the day is my disguiseBut I can't seem to stay far enough away,From self created liesI chose a road, and now I knowNothing will ever come easyI chose this roadStaying asleep is worse than falling awakeI chose this roadStaying asleep is worse than falling awake
