I'm awake, I go to my station I'm awake and I stand on my feet I'm awake and I seek motivation I'm awake but everyone is asleep, yeah I'm alive, with much obligation I'm alive and there are mouths to be fed I'm alive, I have no oblation I'm alive but everybody is dead, yeah I'm alert, aware of surroundings I'm alert with my motives laid bare I'm alert and seeking my groundings I'm alert but nobody will care And this wedding's like a wake And the maid of honor sits atop the cake But in light of all the traffic in your domain Why would I stick around, if I've naught to gain? I'm alright but I still resent you I'm alright, don't know what else to say I'm alright, and I know without you I will surely be okay
