"Wide Awake" lyrics

'Cause it's just a smokescreen, it's all just a fake
Built upon a beautiful mistake
Waited for the truth just to show
Lies will lead me more than we know
Seen it all before, don't leave me wanting more
Maybe I am just a metaphor
Forget the lies we've told if I've still got my soul
Think we can make it

And now I'm wide awake, wide awake
And question everything (Question everything)
Wide awake, wide awake
Burn the blindfolds to show
I'm ready to know, I'm ready

Now I've got a feeling that's cold in my bones
The pseudo-king sparks lies on his throne
There's no heart, no moral, no regard
The judgment swift, the cash cold and hard
Wanted something pure, can't do this anymore
Conceal my soul, win the battle, lose the war
Is kindness such a chore, what do we do this for?
Can't try to fake it

And now I'm wide awake, wide awake
And question everything (Question everything)
Wide awake, wide awake
Burn the blindfolds to show
I'm ready to know, I'm ready

I won't live for the weekend, living for myself
It wasn't good for my mental health
I won't live for the weekend, living for myself
It wasn't good for my mental health

And now I'm wide awake, wide awake
And question everything (Question everything)
Wide awake, wide awake
Burn the blindfolds to show
I'm ready to know, I'm ready
