[Verse 1] I count my steps in the hall I read the room like a wall Every glance has a code Every silence a load The spoon in my hand feels loud The clock in the corner proud One wrong move, one small slip And the whole floor starts to tip [Pre-Chorus] Wake me up, keep me on Keep my name from going numb Watch the doors, watch the seams Guard the edges of my dreams [Chorus] Stay awake, stay awake (Stay awake) One small slip, we break (We break) Stay awake, stay awake (Stay awake) It’s a trap, it’s a trap And we don’t get back [Verse 2] They dress the cage like a home Feed the fog and call it tone Put a smile on the chain Make you love what makes you strain I see them in the daily rush In the nod, in the hush Trying hard to pull me under Turning certainty to thunder [Pre-Chorus] Wake me up, keep me on Keep my name from going numb Watch the doors, watch the seams Guard the edges of my dreams [Chorus] Stay awake, stay awake (Stay awake) One small slip, we break (We break) Stay awake, stay awake (Stay awake) It’s a trap, it’s a trap And we don’t get back [Bridge] I am tired in my bones Still I hold my place alone If I fall, I know the cost If I drift, I’m almost lost [Final Chorus] Stay awake, stay awake (Stay awake) One small slip, we break (We break) Stay awake, stay awake (Stay awake) It’s a trap, it’s a trap And we don’t get back
