Songtexte Wide Awake - Mayfield

I'm getting used to not sleeping
So much I can't count the days
Sometimes I slip into dreaming
Into the backroom of faith

I've had too much of the real
And not enough of the pain
I get caught up in the feeling
That lost sight of the dreams
I guess I was born believing
If this was wrong, then it pays
But everything I have seen
Is just not a thing to me
And in reality
I can feel it in my veins
Alone in life, I've become a victim to my pain
Channeling the pain into something I can gain
Separate the spirit from the demons I contain
But what's a light without the dark?
Without the fight to make it work?
We might slip and fall apart
But we will live to relearn
And even after I depart
You will always have a part of me
Inside of all the people who have doubted me
And told me it was worth living for

When all the lights go out
And the world's at a watchful look next
I want to know what's going through your mind
And even if there's not a single star inside the sky tonight
I feel like lighting up the sky

Just take it day by day
It's okay, we've all been lost
And when you start to slip away
Remember everything you've got
I'm still left to say anything's certain
So why the fuck do you seem so empty?

I can't close my eyes

I can't close my eyes
Because I know that what I do
I scare myself like this is not the worst that we have to
Devote to my life
I let it go to free my soul
And find just what I need
I close my eyes and go to sleep
I can't close my eyes
I close my eyes and go to sleep
I can't close my eyes

When all the lights go out
And the world's at a watchful look next
I want to know what's going through your mind
And even if there's not a single star inside the sky tonight
I feel like lighting up the sky

And even if there's not a single star inside the sky tonight
I feel like lighting up the sky
Lighting up the sky
