Authority Zero - Lying Awake lyrics
[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 permission
Never looking forward
And I was never looking back
And I'd never known what's next
But as the days had gone by
Both ignorant and blind
New visions of a world
Started filling my eyes!
Tossing and turning, with eyes open wide
That is where I find!
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 see
So many generations torn by poverty and greed
So many whining that their lives
Are oh so bad
But far better than so many, it's sad!
Becoming intoxicated by all of the madness
And all of the pain that they've been through
Hoping 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 today
There's just got to be some other time
That they are going to find
There's just got to be some sort of progress
Some other way they're going to know
There'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 society
And it grows, planted like a seed
So what do we do when it comes down on you
Cries ring out as a chime for awakening
Taking the time to listen up
Maybe don't turn away
Maybe showing interest could show
Them light of day
(Can't you see their faces)
Well it's a pretty fine
Line as community paces
Stepping 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 store
Another 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 sorrows
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!
I'm lying awake!
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 permission
Never looking forward
And I was never looking back
And I'd never known what's next
But as the days had gone by
Both ignorant and blind
New visions of a world
Started filling my eyes!
Tossing and turning, with eyes open wide
That is where I find!
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 see
So many generations torn by poverty and greed
So many whining that their lives
Are oh so bad
But far better than so many, it's sad!
Becoming intoxicated by all of the madness
And all of the pain that they've been through

In despair, right outside, no more!
I'm lying awake, lost in time
