I'm clutching at straws because that's all I have left
So I clutch and come away with a fistful of regrets
A handful of anger at the things I didn't get
It just remains to push away all this loneliness
What a difficult awakening this has become
Watch me take it out on everything I love
When I wake up
Need and want are not so different but not this time
Because I can't afford the luxury to pick a side
How I wish I had more nerve or maybe none at all
How I wish I'd never seen just how incredible you are
I could call it obsession or a psychotic break
I could call it a struggle with the might of this awakening
I know I have failed you in every respect
I know you protect yourself
With rejection
What a difficult awakening this has become
Watch me throw away the good things I've done
Watch me lose all the beauty that I've ever had
Watch me make a hollow shell out of a man
When I wake up
What a difficult awakening this has become
Watch me take it out on everything I love
Watch me stab you in the back with your own kindness
Watch me stumble and collapse from my own blindness
What a difficult awakening this has become
Watch me fuck up everything under the Sun
Watch me take apart the bonds I had with everyone
Watch me take it out on everything I love
When I wake up
