[Music by Tolkki, Words by Kotipelto]
If I could stay awake for awhile
it would be another morning
don't wanna fall asleep now when
everything seems so far and beyond
Walking down a familiar road
but the darkness is misleading me
I know I should feel fear inside
but still the shadows is where I wanna be
Just an ordinary day stealing all the hope away
wanting me to be the one who has dreams made of clay
My fading confused mind
creating phrases unknown
I know I should't stay awake
if I fall asleep they just might find me
Now all is so clear
I can finally proceed
My fading confused mind
creating phrases unknown
Waiting for the dawn
soon to arrive
so few options that I have
and I can use
Life's circumstances
can be so cruel
If I take a chance I just might
make the wrong move
