Awake by The Everyday Anthem Lyrics
He's spent the last few years fighting a war inside his head
Cause the monsters there are darker than the ones under his bed
The pills, the broken glass of whiskey on the floor
Can't replace what wasn't there before
He'll cast a smile or two like "everything's okay"
But there's so much more he needs to say
But please don't call the doctors cause he hasn't had enough
Of the senseless voice inside his head
Screaming "you should just give up"
Now he's looking up and walking out to face the demons of the day
Yeah the nightmares can't scare him if he's awake
It's getting hard to keep his head above the waves
And the lonely nights are turning into longer days
Cause the sticks and stones
Will break his bones
And he can't find his way back home
He'll close his eyes and drift away
And I know it's hard to hide the scars on skin that's paper thin
They try to help but he won't let them in
But please don't call the doctors cause he hasn't had enough
Of the senseless voice inside his head screaming "you should just give up"
Now he's looking up and walking out to face the demons of the day
Yeah the nightmares can't scare him if he's awake
When the clouds are forming and the sky is storming and his hope is washed away, He's trapped alone in his world where it's always pouring rain x2
Cause the monsters there are darker than the ones under his bed
The pills, the broken glass of whiskey on the floor
Can't replace what wasn't there before
He'll cast a smile or two like "everything's okay"
But there's so much more he needs to say
But please don't call the doctors cause he hasn't had enough
Of the senseless voice inside his head
Screaming "you should just give up"
Now he's looking up and walking out to face the demons of the day
Yeah the nightmares can't scare him if he's awake
It's getting hard to keep his head above the waves
And the lonely nights are turning into longer days
Cause the sticks and stones
Will break his bones
And he can't find his way back home
He'll close his eyes and drift away
And I know it's hard to hide the scars on skin that's paper thin
They try to help but he won't let them in
But please don't call the doctors cause he hasn't had enough
Of the senseless voice inside his head screaming "you should just give up"
Now he's looking up and walking out to face the demons of the day
Yeah the nightmares can't scare him if he's awake
When the clouds are forming and the sky is storming and his hope is washed away, He's trapped alone in his world where it's always pouring rain x2
