Awake (lyrics)

I'm so frustrated with myself
I'll never be perfect
So why the hell am I trying?
I can't help who I am
Or how I speak
And I can never help how I think

Late at night the shadows shine into my brain
Late at night and early mornings make me feel insane
Late at night I try to pull myself away
I cry more in my sleep than I do when I'm awake
Awake--a-a-a-a-a-ache

Something's gotta break me out of this shell
The more I'm quiet, the more I yell at myself
I'll never give up
So why the hell do I keep saying that?
I can't help how much it hurt
I don't even wanna take it back

Late at night the shadows shine into my brain
Late at night and early mornings make me feel insane
Late at night I try to pull myself away
I cry more in my sleep than I do when I'm awake
Awake--a-a-a-a-a-ache

Who do I think I am?
Acting like the world gives a damn
Notice me, notice me, but please don't notice me
Won't you please, won't you please take--

Late at night I try to pull myself away
I cry more in my sleep than I do when I'm awake...

Late at night the shadows shine into my brain (Awake--a-a-a-a-a-ache)
Late at night and early mornings make me feel insane (Awake--a-a-a-a-a-ache)
Late at night I try to pull myself away (Awake--a-a-a-a-a-ache)
I cry more in my sleep than I do when I'm awake (Awake--a-a-a-a-a-ache)

I cry more in my sleep as I waste the day awake.
