lyrics

Tune out the static of the tv screen
Familiar colors dancing on the ceiling
i avoid your eyes
As you speak your mind

Keep living like you do
Its catching up with you
And I cant watch you sink
Or it’ll take me too

So contemplate what there is to lose
Carefully choose
What will define you

(What will define you)

Or keep living like you do
i will let you choose
If you keep living like you do
You’ll see what there is to lose

Keep living like you do
Its catching up with you
And i cant watch you sink
The more it takes me too

So contemplate what there is to lose
Carefully choose what will define you

Feeling consequence from living as i did
It kept me wide awake
And i made the choice to have a voice and speak my mind
Even in trying times
The past isn’t wasted time

Ive learned
from my mistakes
Knowledge is gained from all that is keeping me
Wide awake

So contemplate what there is to lose
Carefully choose
What will define you
Or keep living like you do,
But thats why youre wide awake
When the world is asleep

So we’ll keep living like we do
You’ll think you’ve nothing left to lose
Until its taken from you
