[Verse 1]
Crack my heart, watch blood drip
Tainted start, my skin is not thick
A wounded past, put trust in this
You should know
[Refrain]
Ignorance is not bliss to me
Ignorance is not bliss to me
Ignorance is not bliss to me
Ignorance is not bliss, nah
[Verse 2]
Enter me, but hold your breath
I won't be held responsible for one's death
I can't believe I'm in this mess
I can't stay here
[Refrain]
Ignorance is not bliss to me
Ignorance is not bliss to me
Ignorance is not bliss to me
Ignorance is not bliss to
[Chorus]
I, I, I'm awake now, honey, I'm awake now, honey
I, I, I'm awake now, honey, I'm awake now, honey
I'm awake, I'm a waste, I'm a joke, I'm a fake, I'm misplaced, I-I
I, I
[Verse 3]
Dead of night, your hands are cold
I understand you come here and no one knows
I said a prayer, amen, it's closed
And there she rose
[Refrain]
Ignorance is not bliss to me
Ignorance is not bliss to me
Ignorance is not bliss to me
Ignorance is not bliss
[Chorus]
I, I, I'm awake now, honey, I'm awake now, honey
I, I, I'm awake now, honey, I'm awake now, honey
I'm awake, I'm a waste, I'm a joke, I'm a fake, I'm misplaced, I-I
I, I
[Bridge]
I stand untouched
You came, I gave unwilling
Head to the wall
I know the innocence in him is gone
I stay untouched
I've changed, not tame, I'm living
Head to the wall
[Chorus]
I, I, I'm awake now, honey, I'm awake now, honey
I, I, I'm awake now, honey, I'm awake now, honey
I'm awake, I'm a waste, I'm a joke, I'm a fake, I'm misplaced, I-I
I, I
[Outro]
I'm awake now
I'm awake now
I'm awake now
I'm awake
