I'm wide awake, wide awake
But I dream I sleep forever
To escape, I would take
My own life just for the pleasure
There's no more holding on
No more holding back
You're just in time
For my final act
There's a knife, there's a gun
Got some pills and some booze
Tie myself to train tracks
Or hang from a noose
Either way
This will all be over soon
The next time you see me
I'll be on the evening news
I'm wide awake, wide awake
But I dream I sleep forever
To escape, I would take
My own life just for the pleasure
There's a wake, there's a wake
Closed casket, open seats
With black roses surrounding
A picture of me
My mother, my mother
The only one who weeps
Over a tombstone that reads
"Out of his misery"
I'm wide awake, wide awake
But I dream I sleep forever
To escape, I would take
My own life just for the pleasure
There's no life flashing before my eyes
I'm dying to see the other side
You did this to me
You'll see
You did this to me
You'll be sorry
I'm wide awake, wide awake
But I dream I sleep forever
To escape, I would take
My own life just for the pleasure
There's no life flashing before my eyes
I'm dying to see the other side
You did this to me
You did this to me
You'll see
You'll be sorry
You did this to me
You'll see
You'll be sorry
You did this to me
