KENCH - Lies Awake Lyrics

While mother tries to sleep, the father lies awake
As the secrets that you keep begin to bend and break
There's a knock at the door and the ground starts to shake
In a mattress made of worms with body's more like snakes
The mother tries to sleep while all her lies awake
There's a gun by the bed, it'll go off before he takes
Two steps out the door as he goes to school today
There's a bomb in his head that'll blow it all away
Hello, hello, hello
Is it the way I am that's not what you want
Is it the way I am that's never enough
Dear mother, it's hard enough
Dear father, so hard enough
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
While teacher starts to talk, the children start to dream
Of a life they'll never have and how nothing's what it seems
There's a knock at the door and the classroom starts to scream
Another bullet to his brain will build his self-esteem
The television man goes on the news today
As his words start to ramble they start to go to break
There's a knock at the door and the lies all go away
There's a voice on the phone but he don't know what to say
Hello, hello, hello
Hello, hello, hello
Is it the way I am that's not what you want
Is it the way I am that's never enough
We've fallen so far apart
We're falling so far from God
Everybody wants to be someone they're not
Nobody wants to be no one
Climbing on your wall
Wait for Rome to fall
Climbing on your wall
Wait for it all to fall
Climbing on your wall
Wait for it all to fall
Climbing on your wall
Wait for it all to fall
Falling
It's falling
Falling
Is it the way I am that's not what you want
Is it the way I am that's never enough
We've fallen so far apart
We're falling so far from God
Everybody wants to be someone they're not
Nobody wants to be no one
