RISE AGAINST - Awake Too Long lyrics

rate me

(Verse)

I watched the rise and the fall and the countermath

I lived to see all the steps fall back

I watched the worlds all crashed and crumbling

Just to be renamed 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

(Chorus)

I'm still gone in the rubble

Like a silt to numb

I see a lot

(Chorus)

I've been awake too long

Wished there was something that could close my eyes

To all that I say

Wait too long, it would be easier

To fall asleep

(Verse)

We fell in love but the love is 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 ones left behind

I've seen the child of the violent man

Never once did our leaders apologize

For battles they begin

(Bridge)

I can't look away or pretend not to see

And still I say

(Chorus)

I've been awake too long

Wished there was something that could close my eyes

To all that I say

Wait too long, it would be easier

To fall asleep
