Keep Myself Awake Songtext
von True Live

Lately I′ve been having just a little trouble sleeping
I close my eyes at night and I ain't peeping
I′m keeping bad thoughts, bad dark dreams
Open up the inside of me and I see
Falling, failing man, clenched fists, no hands
Try fly, can't land, I cram my

Misgivings into my evening living
An existing contradiction by me never forgiven
I'm a beating heart, a breathing lung
Feeding pig to slaughter, an unbeating drum
Some of my fears ego wrapped around the man
Can′t see clear, buried neck deep in sand
Hands of a backwards watch
Always moving so briefly correct on the junkies lethal content

I break myself up in my night life
Before sleep each night I think twice


I don′t know why but I keep myself awake
I don't know why but I keep it up to date
I don′t know why but I keep myself awake
I don't know why but I keep it up to date

Come on, lately I feel like it′s not okay
From this dream state we struggle to wake
Hey, don't you ever wish for change?
The change takes off and you miss the plane
These days (This little wake really hits you strange)
These nights (Nine jobs trying to trick to pay and)
No mind to dreams ′cause in guards we trust
And for those same guards we bust guns to shoot sons and daughters

For borders and man-made lawyers
All for more marketing gimmicks, sex and false images
Females with magazine sicknesses
And this is not a protest song
Just some ideas to focus on
Our life is asleep, there's no jokes this long
If we don't wake up well then I wrote this wrong

I don′t know why but I keep myself awake
I don′t know why but I keep it up to date
I don't know why but I keep myself awake
I don′t know why but I keep it up to date


I dream through the days and live through the nights
Excited by belief that we might get it right

Dreams and lifestyles don't coincide
But living in this dream world is quite a ride
Between reality TV and the vanity of scenes
We′ve lost our direction and it's cost us our dreams
All I wanna do is get through it
That′s why I spend days in the music
True this is a good dream gone wrong

Blood night, mad nights where there's good song
And on those nights man we go beyond
Reality's led to keep us going on
But is reality so far gone
That we don′t wake up when the alarms are wrong?

Well you all probably think that I′m wrong
But for those who don't let′s all sing along

I don't know why but I keep myself awake
I don′t know why but I keep it up to date
I don't know why but I keep myself awake
I don′t know why but I keep it up to date
I don't know why but I keep myself awake
I don't know why but I keep it up to date
I don′t know why but I keep myself awake
I don′t know why but I keep it up to date

I don't know why but I keep myself awake
I don′t know why but I keep it up to date
I don't know why but I keep myself awake
I don′t know why but I keep it up to date
