about

Our second song, and John's personal favorite, Stay Awake! At Dr. Clock our preferred method of Stayin' Awake is, Rip It energy drink. Ethan showed me those the other day, it's an energy drink for like 1.25, that is pretty solid in my opinion.

lyrics

Frozen at the gate of information,
You're terrified and asking for a station,
Don't forget that alien quotation
Telling you you're forty-two don't worry...

Nothing could prepare you for this moment,
The last concern you had was where your home is,
Now it's left behind and no one's noticed,
All the little things you did to grow this!

Just make mistakes and see them on your forearms...
Secrets seem to keep me safe from no one...
I wish that I could tell you all my problems...
But doing so would only make me honest!

Forget about
Your waking Life.
It didn't feel
As cold and bad.
As you said it did
But it isn't fair.
If you kill a man,
Then steal his chair!

Just Stay Awake,
Even if you can't.
You wouldn't like,
Being cut in half.
But you say you do,
Or at least you'll hide
All the ways that you
Could wish you'd die!

Just make mistakes and see them on your forearms!
Secrets seem to keep me safe from no one!
I wish that I could tell you all my problems!
But doing so would only make me honest!
