Awake

I wish something could just work out
coz Im too tired of trying when its coming to nothing
coz I dont wanna be saying look what I could have bin
walking behind a lawn mower
up and down my life couldnt go any slower
I dont wanna be lay on this bed crying
and yes I admit I dont wanna be tired of trying
but Im afraid and it feels like everyone around me is dying
I speak and you do not know what I mean
coz I am living but begining to think I am trapped inside this dream
maybe my eyes will never open?
It will never end and I will never mend a heart that is broken
I wanna blow but I blow every chance I get
you say you care but you and I have never really met
only in conversation that isnt real
so please do not tell me that you know how I feel
you should try closing your eyes to the lies
once they are closed I want you to see with my sight
you will never awake to the fake if you keep them closed all day and night
you will never give in but will die with a mistake you cant put right
only then will you see it clear
when? When you awake to the reality each and everyone one of us truely fear.
