Stay Awake

Dishwalla

Staring at the wall because you know it understands

And boy you wonder about everything that could have been

It's getting later all the time but you're still wide awake

And boy you wonder, if you'll ever sleep again



Hey, hey, gotta stay awake

Don't let it slip away

Don't think that they're not waiting

Hey, hey, gotta stay awake

As your mind is peeled away

But they still seem to find you anyway



Sift your hands through broken glass

Through your shattered crystal ball and boy you wonder

If you'll ever see again

'Cause every time you close your eyes

You know they're right behind you and you wonder

If you'll ever live again



Don't make a sound

'Cause they're living all around

With their shiny eyes and their shiny minds

And they're living everywhere

Watching every move I make

Gotta stay awake
