Stay Awake

When love is no longer enough….

Stay Awake

I hear every little sound,
Every breath, hearts beating,
They’re breathing….

See the passion in her heart,
A witness of her fire,
Desire….

I feel myself drifting off,
The pillow is so soft,
My thoughts…..

Stay Awake! Stay Awake! Stay Awake! Stay Awake!

Entwined, she is not my own,
The feeling in my soul,
So cold….

Watching, feeling every mood,
Looking for the clues,
The Truth….

All done, there hardly is a sound,
Thinking what went on,
And on…..

Stay Awake! Stay Awake! Stay Awake! Stay Awake!

Take this feeling away from me!
Take this feeling away from me!

I hear every little sound,
Every breath, hearts beating,
They’re breathing….

See the passion in her heart,
A witness of her fire,
Desire….

I feel myself drifting off,
The pillow is so soft,
My thoughts…..

Stay Awake! Stay Awake! Stay Awake! Stay Awake!

that solo at 03'30" is simply awsome! did you have long hair, shaking your head, at time? - and your singing reminds me PiL' love song, don't ask me why :p

Haha, this is really catchy! It's been going around my head since it finished, so I'm back for another bite! Love that verse melody against the brooding guitar line - super double extra hooky!

This is dark and heavy! Kind of like underground shock rock from the 70s! Way cool! Awesome chorus/bridge vocals!!!!!

Saved!
