Rise Against - Awake For Too Long Lyrics

I watched the rise and the fall of the common man
I lived to see all hes steps walk back
I watched the walls all crashed down crumbling
Just to be rebuild while we slept

We threw suds in the oceans winding
We promise peace but the peace won't last
Cause now we forged new brakes 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
Wished 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 live to learn, and learn to live without
Falling from the madness we assemble

I've seen the eyes of the widows left behind
I've seen the child of the violent man
Never once did our leaders apologize
For battles they begin

I can't look away or pretend not to see
And still I say

I've been awake too long
Wished 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'll see, what this could be
Instead of what it is
Is that bless, an ignorance
Is this our demise we cant 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

And like constant vigils we all
Carry eternal flames
I’m surgery pain to an open heart
But through it all
Every single cut I’ve been awake
