[Verse 1: Amy Lee]
I toil in silence, don't know where my mind is
Numb from the shock of it all
Cut myself open, but I wasn't broken
Tried to fix what wasn't wrong
[Pre-Chorus: Amy Lee]
Can you feel it taking over? I know I'm not alone
If I must go, the waves should drag me out
[Chorus: Amy Lee]
When every light was kept so close
Burned by the game for what I chose
Now you're tossing and turning
I'm pulling the plug on the dreams
'Cause the end of you is the start of life for me
[Verse 2: Poppy]
How was I to know?
Crystalline castles turned to dust in the palm of your hand
But I'm wide awake this time
Burn it down to find nothing inside
[Pre-Chorus: Poppy, Amy Lee, Poppy & Amy Lee]
Can you feel it taking over? (Feel it taking over)
I feel it creeping in (I feel it creeping in)
I'm back at the edge again (Ayy)
[Chorus: Amy Lee]
When every light was kept so close
Burned by the game for what I chose (What I chose)
Now you're tossing and turning
I'm pulling the plug on the dreams
[Breakdown: Poppy, Courtney LaPlante & Amy Lee]
'Cause the end of you is the start of life for me
The start of life for me
My innocence was blind, now I can finally see (Oh-oh-oh)
The start of life for me
[Verse 3: Courtney LaPlante, Amy Lee & Courtney LaPlante]
You make me feel so wide awake for good this time
You are an echo of a dream as it fades from my mind (Mind)
Wide awake for good this time
I can finally let go of the shame as I claim my new life
[Bridge: Poppy, Amy Lee, Poppy & Amy Lee, Courtney LaPlante]
Sung from a fractured lullaby
Innocence draining from our eyes
All I wanted was stolen
I hate all that I believed
Oh-oh (Oh-oh)
(I'm wide awake for good this time)
Oh-oh (Oh-oh)
(Wide awake for good this time)
[Chorus: Amy Lee]
You're tossing and turning
I'm pulling the plug on the dream
[Outro: Poppy, Amy Lee & Courtney LaPlante]
'Cause the end of you is the start of life for me
