In an interview on Epitaph Records YouTube channel, Wyatt spoke about the meaning behind Clench to Stay Awake’s title, “ … when I wrote the lyrics, I had myself in mind but also, something that could relate to him (Fletcher) as well … And its uh, we tend to faint a lot… So the song is based on how...
[Chorus]
Here comes another day
Where I clench to stay awake
Here comes another day
Where trauma becomes my fate
[Verse 1]
No issue to speak upon
As I trust in my strong will
I've made it many times before
And I can get through it again
Control myself enough
To make it through the plane
To make it through the pain
How does this pain start?
I can clench away
[Chorus]
Here comes another day
Where I clench to stay awake
Here comes another day
Where trauma becomes my fate
[Bridge]
Tell me that I’ve gotta clench to stay awake
Tell me that I’ve gotta clench the pain away
Here comes the pain, I can blow it away
Find a way to cope for another day
Sharp pain coming on, I'm blacked out
Next time it comes, I'm not gonna back out
[Breakdown]
Run to the back, find a place to lie down
Get on my back, hope the pain will die down
Ashamed of my mind, ashamed of my body
From now on I'm in control
But can I keep it all up?
[Chorus]
Here comes another day
Where I clench to stay awake
Here comes another day
Where trauma becomes my fate
[Verse 2]
It's a struggle of the mind
Cause and effect upon my body
It will take over no longer
As long as my will is good
[Outro]
Not another day
Where I clench to stay awake
Not another day
Where trauma becomes my fate
