Mistake (Awake)
..<<Mistake>>..

Tonight, you'll awake
In a terrible sweat
realizing all you've put at stake
And you'll begin to fret
seeing your friends as a threat
Because it's those promises you cannot keep
that cause the demons to creep

There will come an hour
when you realize
the things that gave you power
were only lies
empty tries
You were quick to talk
faster to walk

You don't see the people you harm
the souls you make ill
the lives you disarm
the energies you kill

Tonight, you'll open your eyes
In hopes of an empty gift
Promises that were only lies
A void less rift
your heart is set adrift
And maybe you'll see the mistake
That you were so willing to make

Regret is an awful thing
Pain is a horrible sight
when torture is what you bring
for a friendly fight
Not caring that you're not right
But hopefully you'll awake
and take blame for your mistake
