 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
