Stay Awake Lyrics

If someone saw you break down

Would you find them contempt of knowing

All for showing hospital gowns

The ties that tell: they're known too well

Stay awake now, another chance to allow

Someone to get close to, sharing at least one truth

Inquisitive minds curious of front lines

Quick questions and short answers, second in a short night

Pulled in close, when it hurts the most

Sat here quiet to avoid love's riot

Blood from strangers, a body endangered

Could words help with it, or if I could fix it

I'd stop hiding, you could find me

Fear to face, at least embraced 

Stay awake now, lesson learned the highbrows

Someone has to show them, there's no show that could mend

Inquisitive minds happy in their own vice

Comfort from comforting, seconds in a short night

Never show them never show it hurts

It does, doesn't it, but I cant tell

Eavesdrop, can I sit, incompetent to raise hell

To stop the captive audience to the pain

I lost the main point

Abstract pain from pain points

Acting right admire them

Nothing said but fuck them
