wide awake
A long ten years I think it’s been
Living in my bitter sin
A world of joy I should have known
A piercing knife through the bone
All these memories I dare not save
Buried in a secret grave
No flowers, no tears, no remorse
No marriage, no ring, nor divorce
You broke my wings but I’m not tame
And all the while I’m to blame
In this cage an unseen prison
Filled with rage a tragic vision
I look your way in a glance
And I knew there was no chance
You took my youth and I realize
I see the truth that I despise
Ashamed of my big mistake
Laying here wide awake
It’s 4 am, I should be sleeping
I write these words not worth keeping
I read this back, it sounds so gay
All the words and how I say
My thoughts are there just not coming
In my head a constant humming
My head is throbbing I need a break
The sleep I need I can’t take
My job is waiting and I’m not there
Numb inside I just don’t care
Facing life a simple fact
How I am and how I act
I’m not your minion not your slave
Just fired up to misbehave
