Lyrics
0:15When the city sleeps I'm awake
0:19Caught up in the dreams I can't create
0:22When the city sleeps I'm awake
0:26Locked up in my mind I can't escape
0:31There's nothing I could do but wait
0:34I call you crying 'cause it's too much pain
0:38I can tell you don't get it
0:41'Cause you tell me that everything will be okay
0:47All I wanna do is cry
0:50That's all I wanna do
0:54All I wanna do is cry
0:57Bang my head until I start to fly
1:04Bang bang I start to fly
1:08Bang bang I start to fly
1:18Maybe I'll just dye my hair
1:21To make me feel like I don't care
1:25It'll be my war paint
1:28'Cause Lord knows I need the strength I need the strength
1:33Mondays might be alright
1:37And Sundays will probably hurt
1:40'Cause when your mouth starts moving with the noise
1:44I don't hear a single word
1:49All I wanna do is cry
1:53That's all I wanna do
1:56All I wanna do is cry
1:59Bang my head until I start to fly
2:06Bang bang I start to fly
2:10Bang bang I start to fly
2:15I watch the sky get brighter
2:18The lights get higher now
2:29Just give me mercy 'cause I keep hurting hurting
2:32Just give me mercy 'cause I keep hurting hurting
2:36Just give me mercy 'cause I keep hurting hurting
2:40Just give me mercy 'cause I keep hurting hurting
2:44Just give me mercy 'cause I keep hurting hurting
2:48Just give me mercy 'cause I keep hurting hurting
2:51Just give me mercy 'cause I keep hurting hurting
2:56Hurting hurting
3:23Stuck in the traffic that's racing in my mind
3:27Blankets of woe just to cover up my eyes
3:31'Cause what I need what I need is quiet
3:34And I know what I need what I need is hiding
3:39I'm just a face someone passing on the street
3:43Paint on a smile so that no one ever sees
3:47'Cause what I need what I need is quiet
3:50And I know what I need what I need is hiding
3:55Talk to me they all talk to me oh oh oh
4:06Oh oh oh
4:11Talk to me they all talk to me oh oh oh
4:23Oh oh oh
4:27It's easier for me to stay quiet not speak a word
4:31For if I do the truth might emerge
4:35The mind will choose to feel
4:37Nobody can poison my feelings if they're never revealed
4:42I'll watch others live in loudness
4:43And I'll destroy the chaos in my way
4:46I have the control
4:48So I keep what's mine I can have with your soul
4:51And live with content free from fear
4:54I choose my actions
4:55I'm the gatekeeper
5:00Just give me mercy 'cause I keep hurting hurting
5:03Just give me mercy 'cause I keep hurting hurting
5:07Just give me mercy 'cause I keep hurting hurting
5:12Hurting hurting
5:15Just give me mercy 'cause I keep hurting hurting
5:19Just give me mercy 'cause I keep hurting hurting
5:23Just give me mercy 'cause I keep hurting hurting
5:28Hurting hurting
5:31Don't let me down with my soul in the air
5:35Don't let me down when there's nobody here
When the city sleeps I'm awake Caught up in the dreams I can't create When the city sleeps I'm awake Locked up in my mind I can't escape There's nothing I could do but wait I call you crying 'cause it's too much pain I can tell you don't get it 'Cause you tell me that everything will be okay All I wanna do is cry That's all I wanna do All I wanna do is cry Bang my head until I start to fly Bang bang I start to fly Bang bang I start to fly Maybe I'll just dye my hair To make me feel like I don't care It'll be my war paint 'Cause Lord knows I need the strength I need the strength Mondays might be alright And Sundays will probably hurt 'Cause when your mouth starts moving with the noise I don't hear a single word All I wanna do is cry That's all I wanna do All I wanna do is cry Bang my head until I start to fly Bang bang I start to fly Bang bang I start to fly I watch the sky get brighter The lights get higher now Just give me mercy 'cause I keep hurting hurting Just give me mercy 'cause I keep hurting hurting Just give me mercy 'cause I keep hurting hurting Just give me mercy 'cause I keep hurting hurting Just give me mercy 'cause I keep hurting hurting Just give me mercy 'cause I keep hurting hurting Just give me mercy 'cause I keep hurting hurting Hurting hurting Stuck in the traffic that's racing in my mind Blankets of woe just to cover up my eyes 'Cause what I need what I need is quiet And I know what I need what I need is hiding I'm just a face someone passing on the street Paint on a smile so that no one ever sees 'Cause what I need what I need is quiet And I know what I need what I need is hiding Talk to me they all talk to me oh oh oh Oh oh oh Talk to me they all talk to me oh oh oh Oh oh oh It's easier for me to stay quiet not speak a word For if I do the truth might emerge The mind will choose to feel Nobody can poison my feelings if they're never revealed I'll watch others live in loudness And I'll destroy the chaos in my way I have the control So I keep what's mine I can have with your soul And live with content free from fear I choose my actions I'm the gatekeeper Just give me mercy 'cause I keep hurting hurting Just give me mercy 'cause I keep hurting hurting Just give me mercy 'cause I keep hurting hurting Hurting hurting Just give me mercy 'cause I keep hurting hurting Just give me mercy 'cause I keep hurting hurting Just give me mercy 'cause I keep hurting hurting Hurting hurting Don't let me down with my soul in the air Don't let me down when there's nobody here
