Keep me awake, speak to me

I don't ever want to sleep again

I can see you look at the bruises

on my arms and neck, my swollen throat



Now at the time I'm just flowing

with the stream and I'm trying

to bring back my life



Patience, endless rules

brings me back and forth

my own domestic war



Wake me into another world

where there is no pain and hurt



It all submits

that I shouldn't take

to be abused anymore

Keep on living but still afraid

and would it be too late



[repeat chorus]
