[Verse 1]
I'm running in
Circles again
Outside lies come rushin' in
I see through you
Just like a ghost
If you can't look through my eyes, I guess you'll never know
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm turning the page just to tear it out
I'm finding my way, you only let me down
What would it take to make you hear me now?
Hear me now
[Chorus]
They call us the half awake
But maybe we just haven't found our place
Searchin' for the light inside of me
While you're tryin' to place the blame
You don't like it when we stay out late
But maybe we don't like the plans you've made
Just keep saying that we'll never change
Who's to tell us that we're half awake?
[Post-Chorus]
You don't like it when we stay out late
But maybe we don't like the plans you've made
Just keep saying that we'll never change
Who's to tell us that we’re half awake?
[Verse 2]
Mortality
Is creeping in
Outside lies held deep within
No clarity
Over my head
I'll show myself I can do what they have never said
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm turning the page just to tear it out
I'm finding my way, you only let me down
What would it take to make you hear me now?
Hear me now
[Chorus]
They call us the half awake
But maybe we just haven't found our place
Searchin' for the light inside of me
While you're tryin' to place the blame
You don't like it when we stay out late
But maybe we don't like the plans you've made
Just keep saying that we'll never change
Who's to tell us that we're half awake?
[Post-Chorus]
You don't like it when we stay out late
But maybe we don't like the plans you've made
Just keep saying that we'll never change
Who's to tell us that we’re half awake?
[Bridge]
I'm turning the pages
The time that I wasted
What would it take to make you hear me now?
Hear me now
[Chorus]
They call us the half awake
But maybe we just haven't found our place
Searchin' for the light inside of me
While you're tryin' to place the blame
You don't like it when we stay out late
But maybe we don't like the plans you've made
Just keep saying that we'll never change
Who's to tell us that we're half awake?
