Expendables, The - Wide Awake Lyrics






I buried my face into my palms again
Tryin' to wake up
On my world that is tired of spinnin' here
Why do I fail my feet are stuck to cement
Sink into the bottom of my soul
I try to stand up to catch my self reflection
The shattered pieces collapse to the floor
Why can't I crawl to my dark corner, hard and cold
Sometimes my grip wants to let go

So wide a wide awake I lay
Do I have what it's gonna take
To keep on keeping on
So wide a wide awake I lay
Can I take this weight from holdin' me down

Another morning sucked that night
Another night passes away
(Recently it all just feels the same)
I try to laugh it off, but it grows where I'm soft
Gripping into me while I sleep
Holdin' on feels like the wrong direction
Why do my dreams come out fake
A lot, a lot short of satisfaction
It least I'm locked in a familiar place

So wide a wide awake I lay
Do I have what it's gonna take
To keep on keeping on
So wide a wide awake I lay
Can I take this weight from holdin' me down

I work myself over
I work myself over, again

So wide a wide awake I lay
Do I have what it's gonna take
To keep on keeping on
So wide a wide awake I lay
Can I take this weight from holdin' me down

    Saw these guys back in 2019, free show in cocoa beach Florida.. towards the end the guys right up front left and I moved up.. traded my pick with the guitarist/vocalists, got a sweet expendables pick with a jaeger logo on it.. then hung out with the dude and the other guys in the band, chilled and smoked a couple bowls. Super cool guys.. not the biggest band but the coolest concert experience I’ve ever had..

  21. F.... ....

    The word means "ignorant Black man" if your black unless your ignorant it shouldn't bother you. Racism exists because we allow it to get to us, if you shrug it off eventually the word will lose meaning and will fade into the history books.

  22. B.... M....

    This song goes good with only one thing...a BOFD...a Big ol fat daddy..yeaaa

  23. S.... B....

    I use to smoke...now I am in the Army takin care of my family but it is good to reminisce of the part and the music I once listen to an blazed to hahaha...good feelings

  39. k.... ....

    My favorite Song! The lead singers Palauan! Reppin' palau baby!

  40. i.... ....

    @Arkham0801 dude i hear sublime on the radio all the time, and they talk about weed too. besides, every song is not about ganja (like this one). dont be such an ignorant ass.

  41. J.... V....

    3 people have 2 much weight holding em down!

  42. K.... C....

    @ch33kyfellow agreeeed! Its no doubt deserves some more popularity. I was hooked just not to long ago from the very first song and downloaded all they've got immediately. Not only do they create great chill music i can listen to when high OR low, I can truly appreciate them as talented players and musicians because they are just that good.

  43. K.... M....

    fucking shit balls

  44. B.... G....

    @xxcoolppz This is good for Stoner music, but this isnt mean thats U can only listen it Stoned..... I like to listen Vangelis, and Owl city as well when i high

  45. K.... ....

    @shadowuvintent Haha word.

  46. J.... h....

  57. J.... C....

  58. J.... C....

    yeah i put a list like this up and everyone voted mine thumbs down

  59. J.... C....

    you said the word juggalo... that instantly dicredits you... haha

  60. J.... C....

    why the FUCK would you listen to music if you dont enjoy it? who fucking cares how "good it is", the only compitition in music is public interest, the only thing that matters is if you like it or not, facts arent shit

  61. J.... h....

    wtf!!! they deleted minimum wage no!!!!!!

  62. J.... C....

    Sublime, Tribal Seeds, The Expendables, Slightly Soopid, Rebelution, 311, Long beach Dub all stars, common sense... in that order

  63. J.... C....

    the competitiion is whoever can enjoy it the most

  64. n.... ....

    @jewdude777 terrible order...
    1. sublime (easily)
    2.expendables
    3.slightly

  65. I.... ....

    1: Sublime
    2: Stoopid/ Pepper (Tie)

  66. 3.... ....

    actually catch a fire by bob marley changed reggae music forever. Sublime mixed punk rock, DJing and reggae to make their sound. its a completely different sound than this. Then again sublime influenced slightly which influenced the expendables. but where does mustard plug fit into all of this? Rambling is fun when your toasted.

  67. J.... h....

    they dont get played on teh radio cuz a bunch of their songs are about weed

  68. c.... ....

    In a way i like it, i got all my friends hooked on them, and they are real musicians so even if they are not on the radio, they still play real music, im fine with that.

  69. J.... D....

    well said, its not about being the best its about feeling good :)

  70. s.... ....

    sucks to be you. 15 and a 2 inch penis.

  71. m.... ....

    sublime is the shit
    metro station is the one who is worshipped by 15 year old douche bages with 2 inch penises

  72. m.... ....

    sublime should be at the top they started it all for most of the other bands

  73. k.... ....

    1. SOJA 2. Pepper
    3. Sublime 4. Passafire
    5. Rebelution 6. The Expendables
    7. The Supervillains 8. Tribal Seeds
    9. The Aggrolites 10. Peps Persson

  74. x.... ....

    1-sublime 2-slightly stoopid 3-expendables

  75. G.... W....

    sublimes always #1

  76. C.... M....
