I sit and watch the sun set fade
With ease to black and white
With a cigarette in my left hand
I'm strumming with my right
The air is cold, and I'm alone
But it comes as no surprise
As the body's getting older
It mutes the child inside
The streaming wind, it hides a scent
That's much like the fireplace
It takes me back to a time I know
There is not a chance to erase
I'm ten years old, and my arm's asleep
But I'll play till I get it right
Dad's been sitting across from me
And we'll probably stay all night
Say again
I'm asleep
Stay, my friend
My need
My therapy
There are wandering people on every side
And we're sitting atop the stage
It's three A.M., and we're still outside
With every reason to stay awake
It's a summer night with the five of us
And like brothers, we dream of fame
Five years running for five years strong
And my Pack is still the same
Say again
I'm asleep
Stay, my friend
My need
My therapy
I was never the voice you thought I'd be
And from here, I'm feeling right
'Cause you were never the hold inside of me
That kept me awake at night
You see, the reason I'm always angry
Is the reason I'm never right
With reason held at a distance
There ain't no reason, in me, to fight
Say again
I'm alive
Stay, my friend
I won't hide
Wait, my friend, let's be
Stay again, my need
