Lyrics

Count me out

I'm heading to Ecuador

No more ledge

Weed is shredder more

Cutting corns

Bits of copper crud

Stare at the stars

Filling our lung

Out of time

Out of time

Out of my body

Out of my mind

Maybe I've lost it

Who even cares?

Bury my head

Until this life becomes fair

And I grow tired

But dare not to fall asleep

Who knows war?

Will I wait if I fall too deep?

Call it a mission

Call it an inner fear

But I am awake

I am awake

And I grow tired

But dare not to fall asleep

Who knows war?

Will I wait if I fall too deep?

Call it a mission

Call it an inner fear

But I am awake

I am awake

I swear in my dreams

I saved you from a fool

And I was king

But then I drank it all

Swayed off the road

Carrying from nothing much

Some say reckless

I say out of touch

I'm sick of the noise

Why won't it let me be?

Fine on my own

But all these signs keep on grabbing me

I'm taking a chair

Taking a stand

Taking a place

Because it seems that we can

So I grow tired

But dare not to fall asleep

Who knows war?

Will I wait if I fall too deep?

Call it a mission

Call it an inner fear

But I am awake

I am awake

So I grow tired

But dare not to fall asleep

Who knows war?

Will I wait if I fall too deep?

Call it a mission

Call it an inner fear

But I am awake

I am awake

Let's run away

Let's leave it all behind

Only possessions

Stuff we collect in time

This feels different

Itchy beneath my skin

Can't quite explain it

I'm constantly questionin'

Can somebody tell me

Where the hell is dimmer switch?

Down with this thinking

Lay it out like a crucifix

And I want a piece

In my heart, in my enemy

But won't find it here

With all this constant war mongering

And I just grow tired

But dare not to fall asleep

Who knows war?

Will I wait if I fall too deep?

Call it a mission

Call it an inner fear

But I am awake

I am awake

And I grow tired

But dare not to fall asleep

Who knows war?

Will I wait if I fall too deep?

Call it a mission

Call it an inner fear

But I am awake

I am awake

I am awake
