Awake - Sometimes Never

I remember innocence

Like it was yesterday

Like it might come back to tomorrow

I remember being so small

Nothing mattered at all

The years seemed to last forever

If only growing old was just a dream

I am awake

Till the silence comes and peacefully I sleep

I remember mom and dad

And all the good times we had

The way I felt protected from all harm

I remember knowing it all

Feeling so in control

I thought that nothing ever could go wrong

If only growing old was just a dream

Days go by

The foundation is cracking

Days go by

What was strong is now lacking

Days go by

I am awake

I am awake

I had hoped I was living in a bad dream

I’d wake up to the world I once knew existed

If only I could shut my eyes and fall asleep

Control my dreams and put myself where pain is nonexistent
