Under the skin, it clings to veins
Chemical fix stops the pain
Creeping slowly behind eyelids
Burrowed deep within your brain
He's barely sleeping keeping one eye open
Fire on his tongue to keep the demons at bay
She'll toss and turn until she hits the come down
'Cause her paper heart was given too much to take
Wide awake
With your eyes sewn shut, you feel the stitches break
Stuck in a rainy day
With your face to the glass you can't wait for the lightning to break
She's giving up 'cause he wasn't there for her
He's been chasing thunder looking for what comes after
She's crying out his name
Razor to the table thinking this could take the pain away
But no,
You can't build a home out of two hearts that can't help but shatter their bones
Can you feel your skin crawl?
Her legs are shaking as they pace the floorboards
Venom in her heart to keep the demons awake
And he holds his breath because she speaks so softly
And he can't imagine missing words she would say
Wide awake
With your eyes sewn shut, you feel the stitches break
Stuck in a rainy day
With your face to the glass you can't wait for the lightning to break
There's no method to this madness
I'm just tossing and turning awake
It's not fun anymore
Now the flash bang has me pacing till my feet can't feel the floor
Save yourself from me
That's not how it's supposed to be
And I've been trying to find my way back
All I see are empty streets and ghosts
Just take me home
Wide awake
With your eyes sewn shut, you feel the stitches break
Stuck in a rainy day
With your face to the glass you can't wait for the lightning to break
