I wrote "Awake" when I was working as a tech, and moonlighting as a musician, all the time dreaming and "scheming" to make my escape and do music for a living. The song has the perfect post-punk vibe to compliment the rebellious nature of the lyrics.

lyrics

Kill the clock, go to work
My blessing and a curse
Up the stairs and down the hall

Close the door, turn the lock
Wish I could seal it off for good

Seen the walls closin' in
Just like the time before
Never did to much to right it

Told myself this is it
I won't waste another year
Trapped inside this (world)

World's still sleeping
I'm wide awake
Plotting, scheming
Planning my escape

Eyes wide open
Mouth wired shut
Eyes wide open
Talk too much

A step ahead, a step behind
What did you expect
Who ever said that life was easy

Step outside, take a walk
Into my perfect world again
Where no one sees me

Daylight dreaming
Sun in my face
Inside screaming
Take me from this place

Eyes wide open
Mouth wired shut
Eyes wide open
Talk too much
Eyes wide open
Mouth shut tight
Eyes wide open
Feels all right
