My mind, my brain,
They're always awake,
Eyes open,
Eyes closed,
Always awake.
Thoughts always burning through my mind,
In sleep,
The thoughts, the fears, are running free,
Violent beasts,
Chasing me,
Always awake.
And when I come back to life,
The thoughts are there,
Out of this world,
But still everywhere,
Always awake,
Always awake,
Every moment of everyday,
These god damn thoughts won't go away,
Buckled down, here to stay,
Awake,
Awake,
Always awake,
Cause the devil's not on my shoulder,
But in my head,
The white little angel,
Long since dead,
They're no longer a smolder,
But now a blaze,
Fireworks, the whole parade,
Always awake,
Always awake,
And killing me,
The silent war no one can see,
They hold me down,
Drowning me,
I gasp for air,
But there's none left,
I've already taken my last breath,
They're killing,
Killing,
Killing me,
These poison thoughts inside of me.
