When the city sleeps, I'm awake
Caught up in the dreams, I can't create
When the city sleeps, I'm awake
Locked up in my mind, I can't escape
There's nothing I could do but wait
I call you crying 'cause it's too much pain
I can tell you don't get it
'Cause you tell me that everything will be okay

All I wanna do is cry
That's all I wanna do
All I wanna do is cry
Bang my head, until I start to fly
Bang, bang, I start to fly
Bang, bang, I start to fly

Baby, I just dyed my hair
To make me feel like I don't care
It'll be my war paint
'Cause Lord knows I need strength, I need strength
Mondays might be alright
And Sundays will probably hurt
'Cause when your mouth starts moving with the noise
I don't hear a single word

All I wanna do is cry
That's all I wanna do
All I wanna do is cry
Bang my head, until I start to fly
Bang, bang, I start to fly
Bang, bang, I start to fly
I watch the sky get brighter
The lights get higher now

Just give me mercy 'cause I keep hurting, hurting
Just give me mercy 'cause I keep hurting, hurting
Just give me mercy 'cause I keep hurting, hurting
Just give me mercy 'cause I keep hurting, hurting
Just give me mercy 'cause I keep hurting, hurting
Just give me mercy 'cause I keep hurting, hurting
Just give me mercy 'cause I keep hurting, hurting
Hurting, hurting

Stuck in the traffic that's racing in my mind
Blankets of wool just to cover up my eyes
'Cause what I need, what I need is quiet
And I know what I need, what I need is hiding
I'm just a face, someone passing on the street
Paint on a smile so that no one ever sees
'Cause what I need, what I need is quiet
And I know what I need, what I nees hiding

Talk to you, they all talk to you, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Talk to you, we all talk to you, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh

It's easier for me to stay quiet (Talk to you, they all talk to you)
And not speak a word
For if I do, then the truth might emerge
They are my emotions to feel
Nobody can poison my feelings if they're never revealed
I'll watch others live in loudness
And I'll destroy the chaos in my way
I have the control
If I keep what's mine, I can have the purest soul
And live with content, free from fear
I choose my actions
I'm the gatekeeper

Just give me mercy 'cause I keep hurting, hurting
Just give me mercy 'cause I keep hurting, hurting
Just give me mercy 'cause I keep hurting, hurting
Hurting, hurting

Just give me mercy 'cause I keep hurting, hurting
Just give me mercy 'cause I keep hurting, hurting
Just give me mercy 'cause I keep hurting, hurting
Hurting, hurting

Don't let me die with my soul in the air
Don't let me die when there's nobody here
