Lie Awake - Steve Mason

I looked at many thus scorched

By the firely floor

And though I scanned their faces with the up most lead

There was no one there I recognized

But I saw house damped with charge

And tint drop laying to read

About the neck of each a great purse hung

Whereon their eyes

Seemed still to fix

And heed

At fifteen years old

I had to know

What makes you fail

And what makes you grow

I stare at my hands

Just like foreign lands

Would they do what I wish

A whip they possessed

In holding me down

A store in the ground

And when I lie

Awake

I fall through side of my head

And when I lie

Awake awake awake awake

I fall through side side of my head

The ones that you love

Help rise above

Not hold him you back

But point out the traps

Not shelting you down

They help build a frown

Scull in your face

Never started to race

You find what you told

Let's twist it at all

But you just can't keep up

With all the money and the luck

And when I lie

Awake

I fall through side of my head

And when I lie

Awake awake awake awake

I fall through side of my head

And when I lie

Awake

I fall through the side of my head

And when I lie

Lie

Lie

Lie

Lie

Lie

Lie

Lie
