If you twist and turn away.
if you tear yourself in two again.
if i could, yes i would
if i could, i would let it go.
surrender, dislocate.

if i could throw this lifeless
lifeline to the wind.
leave this heart of clay,
see you walk, walk away,
into the night.
and through the rain.
into the half-light,
and through the flame.

if i could through myself,
set your spirit free.
i'd lead your heart away,
see you break, break away
into the light.
and to the day.

to let it go,
and so to fade away.
to let it go,
and so fade away.

i'm wide awake.
i'm wide awake.
i'm not sleeping.
oh, no, no.

if you should ask then maybe
they'd tell you what i would say.
true colors fly in blue and black,
bruised silken skies and burning flak
colors crash, collide in blood shot eyes.

if i could, you know i would.
if i could, i would let it go.

this desparation.
dislocation.
separation.
condemnation.
revelation.
in temptation.
isolation.
desolation.

let it go,
and so to fade away.
to let it go,
and so fade away.

oh, no
i'm wide awake.
i'm wide awake.
i'm not sleeping.
oh, no no
