He'll Stay Awake

He'll stay awake
Even though it's his dreams
That continue to dictate
What he will create, yeah
He feels the weight, yeah
From all he's sacrificed to be called great
He'll hesitate
He cannot go back home
To see her face on
This fall from grace
No she did not wait
No she gave up on watching his ego inflate
But hey, that's showbiz baby

He'll stay awake
Even though it's his phone
That continues to vibrate
Another update
Will he take the bait
Luring him towards a feed addiction
Got him hooked on their plate
He needs a break
Cut the cord he doesn't know
What is real or fake
He'll disassociate
A creators mandate
Oh she knew his narcissism would just inflate

He'll stay awake
He'll stay awake
He'll stay awake
He'll stay awake

He'll stay awake
Even though it's his drink
That continues to sedate
He cannot see straight
It was his mistake
He knows the bottom of the bottle
Don't stop the headache
For goodness sake
It's not too late
He can quit his craving for escape
It's an impulse he can shake
A curse that he can break
A record he can write
A voice he could narrate
Voice he could narrate
He'll stay awake
That's showbiz baby
