Authority Zero - Lying Awake Lyrics
Lying awake, lost in time, with no reason to turn around and put it all aside yeah!Here today, gone tomorrow, while drowning in all of their sorrows!At age 14 no inhibitions, and I sure as hell did not need your permissionNever looking forward, and I was never looking back, and I'd never known what's nextBut as the days had gone by, both ignorant and blindNew visions of a world started ?lling my eyes!Tossing and turning, with eyes open wide, that is where I ?nd!I'm lying awake, lost in time, with no reason to turn around and put it all aside yeah!Here today, gone tomorrow, while drowning in all of their sorrows!Years go by as we start to seeSo many generations torn by poverty and greedSo many whining that their lives are oh so badBut far better than so many, it's sad!Becoming intoxicated by all of the madnessAnd all of the pain that they've been throughHoping and searching, a world in despair, right outside, no more!I'm lying awake, lost in time, with no reason to turn around and put it all aside yeah!Here today, gone tomorrow, while drowning in all of their sorrows!There's just got to some other way, those people are dying todayThere's just got to be some other time, that they are going to ?ndThere's just got to be some sort of progress, some other way they're going to knowThere's just got to be another means to an end, here's to hoping that it will show!Wake up!Like some people in our societyAnd it grows, planted like a seedSo what do we do when it comes down on youCries ring out as a chime for awakeningTaking the time to listen up, maybe don't turn awayMaybe showing interest could show them light of day(Can't you see their faces)Well it's a pretty ?ne line as community pacesStepping up to the edge daily different cases(Oh can't you see their faces coming around, so many faces,different places with so many face down)Third world tragedy, another in storeAnother taste of what's real, can they take anymore?Lying awake, lost in time with no reason to turn around and put it all aside, yeah!Here today, gone tomorrow, while drowning in all of their sorrowsAwake, lost in time, with no reason to turn around and put it all aside, yeah!Here today gone tomorrow, while drowning in all of their sorrows!I'm lying awake!
