Awake

If you twist and turn away,

If you tear yourself in two again,

If I could, yes I would

If I could, I would let it go.

Surrender, dislocate.



If I could throw this lifeless life-line to the wind,

Leave this heart of clay, see you walk, walk away

Into the night, and through the rain

Into the half light and through the flame.



If I could, through myself, set your spirit free

I'd lead your heart away, see you break, break away

Into the light and to the day.



To let it go and so to fade away.

To let it go and so fade away.

I'm wide awake.

I'm wide awake, wide awake.

I'm not sleeping.



If you should ask, then maybe

They'd tell you what I would say

True colours fly in blue and black

Bruised silken sky and burning flak.

Colours crash, collide in blood-shot eyes.



If I could, you know I would

If I could, I would let it go.



This desperation, dislocation

Separation, condemnation

Revelation, in temptation

Isolation, desolation

Let it go and so to fade away

To let it go and so to fade away

To let it go and so to fade away



I'm wide awake, I'm wide awake, wide awake,

I'm not sleeping

Oh no, no, no.
