| I watched the rise and the fall of the common man | |
| I lived to see your steps walk back | |
| I watched the walls all crash down, crumbling | |
| Just to be rebuilt while we slept | |
| We threw swords in the oceans wide and deep | |
| We promise peace but the peace won’t last | |
| ‘Cause now we forge new blades so nervously | |
| Waiting for this harmony to pass | |
| I stand guard and roam | |
| Like a sentinel | |
| I see it all | |
| I’ve been awake too long | |
| Wish there was something that could close my eyes | |
| To all that I see | |
| Awake too long | |
| It would be easier to fall asleep | |
| We fell in love but the love kept running out | |
| We follow roads but the roads all end | |
| We lived and learned, and learned to live without | |
| Falling from the ladders we ascend | |
| I’ve seen the eyes of the widows left behind | |
| I’ve seen the child of a fallen man | |
| And never once did our leaders apologize | |
| For battles they began | |
| I can’t look away or pretend not to see | |
| And so I say | |
| I’ve been awake too long | |
| Wish there was something that could close my eyes | |
| To all that I see | |
| Awake too long | |
| It would be easier to fall asleep | |
| Asleep | |
| Maybe I would dream if I could sleep | |
| Maybe I’d see what this could be | |
| Instead of what it is | |
| And is there bliss in ignorance? | |
| Is this our demise we can’t prevent? | |
| Should we fall asleep? | |
| I’ve been awake too long | |
| I’ve been awake too long | |
| I’ve been awake too long | |
| I’ve been awake too long | |
| (I’ve been awake too long) And like constant vigils we all | |
| (I’ve been awake too long) Carry eternal flames | |
| (I’ve been awake too long) I’m saturate pains to an open heart | |
| (I’ve been awake too long) But through it all | |
| Every single cut I’ve been awake |
| I watched the rise and the fall of the common man | |
| I lived to see your steps walk back | |
| I watched the walls all crash down, crumbling | |
| Just to be rebuilt while we slept | |
| We threw swords in the oceans wide and deep | |
| We promise peace but the peace won' t last | |
| ' Cause now we forge new blades so nervously | |
| Waiting for this harmony to pass | |
| I stand guard and roam | |
| Like a sentinel | |
| I see it all | |
| I' ve been awake too long | |
| Wish there was something that could close my eyes | |
| To all that I see | |
| Awake too long | |
| It would be easier to fall asleep | |
| We fell in love but the love kept running out | |
